Requirements to join Alpha Pi Mu
The National Constitution sets minimum scholarship requirements for membership eligibility. Individual chapters may establish requirements above this minimum level. The Constitution states that only those ranked in the upper one-fifth of the junior class or the upper one-third of the senior class can be considered for membership. Graduate students who have demonstrated exceptional scholarly achievement may, upon nomination by the department head, be considered for membership. Invitation for membership is made subsequent to a chapter election held in the fall and spring semesters of each academic year. If you have any specific questions about Alpha Pi Mu, check with any of your departmental advisors or a student member.
