Get Involved in Alpha Chi Rho

You may ask, what is it like to work or volunteer with Alpha Chi Rho Headquarters? Honestly, it’s a lot like working with your friends, your fraternity Brothers or your sorority sisters. Though not everyone on our staff or in our volunteer positions are members of Alpha Chi Rho, we all share a common love for the Fraternity and for Greek Life as a whole. We work with a purpose, each and every day, to improve Alpha Chi Rho through the vision of the organization: to “Cultivate Men of Word and Deed.”

Our staff and volunteers strive to accomplish massive projects as a team in a healthy, professional, and challenging environment that benefits the growth of each person. We are continually seeking individuals who will embrace our purpose with enthusiasm and determination through volunteering or through a staff position.

If you believe that you have what it takes to join our team, please look at the opportunities below. If you are interested in volunteering in any way, please complete the application form.
