- You must join through your chapter – CWU Sociology Department-Faculty Mentor: Gary Myers gary.myers@cwu.edu . (AKD does not accept individual memberships from students).
- Contact your chapter representative to check when he/she will be sending out an announcement to join AKD.
- If you think your chapter may not send out official announcements about membership, fill out our generic membership application and give it to your chapter representative to let him/her know you are interested in joining
Please note: Make sure the chapter representative approves your membership before writing a check for your membership and handing it over.
- If you think your chapter may not send out official announcements about membership, fill out our generic membership application and give it to your chapter representative to let him/her know you are interested in joining
- When will you become an official member? You are officially a member of Alpha Kappa Delta when our Executive Office receives your membership payment and required forms from the chapter. The Executive Office puts you in the system as a member and will order you a membership certificate (certificates are sent to your chapter representative and take about 2-4 weeks to arrive from the time we receive the order).
