To be eligible for Fraternal membership, a fraternity must be national or international in character and shall charter its institutional chapters only at appropriately accredited colleges, universities, or professional schools. The fraternity shall be identified by, or related to a field of study or common interest.  Member fraternities may also initiate members of other fraternities.

Associate membership is granted to people, partnerships, or corporations that furnish equipment, supplies, or services to member fraternities, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.  Associate members enjoy all privileges of membership, withexception of voting and holding of elective office.  An Associate Member Liaison, however, is a member of the Board of Directors.
