Recruitment & Retention Incentives

Chapter Induction Goals & Incentives

Grow our Organization. Strengthen Your Chapter. Earn Chapter Credit.

To support the long-term success, sustainability, and impact of your Chapter, we’re excited to offer Induction goals and incentives. By inducting new Members, your Chapter not only grows in strength and potential, but also earns Chapter Credit - which can be applied toward:

  • The Chapter’s National Dues payment in Spring 2027
  • The Chapter’s Grand Chapter Meeting Delegate’s registration fee

The more new Members you welcome, the more your Chapter earns!

Chapter Induction Goals & Incentives

Recruitment Incentives (Applied as Dues Credits):

  • 100% of goal: $100 
  • Over 100% of goal: $20 per each New Member after the goal is reached

Important Details:

  • Credits will be applied to your Chapter’s January billing
  • Chapters will receive confirmation when credits are issued
  • Chapters must be up to date on dues and able to pay by the billing deadline to receive the credit
  • If a Chapter is not in good financial standing by the next billing cycle, the credit will be removed

Member Counting Requirements: To ensure accuracy, New Members must be:

  • Fully entered in the system
  • Have claimed their account
  • Have completed induction and paid in full 

Only Members who meet all of the above criteria will count toward recruitment totals.

Foundation Goal: 100% Induction

  • Goal: Induct 100% of new Members based on the goal the Chapter has been given. 
  • Incentive: The Chapter will earn a $100 Chapter Credit 

Grow & Excel Goal: 100%+ Induction

  • Goal: Exceed the number of new Members inducted based on the goal the Chapter has been given. 
  • Enhanced Incentive: The Chapter will earn a $20 Chapter Credit per new Member above the goal in addition to the base $100 earned from hitting the goal.
  • For example, if your Chapter’s goal is 25 new Members and you induct 30, the Chapter would receive an additional $100 ($20 x 5). In total, your Chapter would earn $200 in Chapter Credit!

Term & Eligibility Requirements

This incentive program applies to new Members your Chapter inducts during the Fall 2026 Term only. The National Staff will provide your Chapter’s specific foundation goal number.

To receive Chapter Credit, your Chapter must:

  • Meet all required reporting due dates
  • Submit an accurate Spring Induction Report through the PSPCC by the deadline

How are goals determined? 

Each Chapter's induction goal was established using a combination of historical Chapter performance and institutional data. We reviewed approximately 20 years of Chapter statistics, including Chapter size and annual induction totals, alongside current enrollment, enrollment trends, and other institutional factors to determine an attainable yet ambitious goal for each Chapter.

Our objective was to set goals that reflect each Chapter's unique potential while encouraging sustainable growth and long-term success for each Chapter. 

Why These Goals Matter for Your Chapter

  • Sustain and grow your Chapter’s events, service, and programs
  • Increase leadership opportunities and Member connections
  • Reduce the Chapter’s financial commitment in future terms
  • Strengthen your Chapter’s legacy and National presence

Let’s work together to grow your Chapter, welcome new Members, and earn Chapter Credit that gives back to your Brotherhood!

Retention Incentives for Chapters

Provided by the National Office to support Member Retention & Engagement

What is Retention?

Retention refers to keeping Members actively engaged and enrolled in your Chapter from one term to the next. For this challenge, retention is measured by comparing how many fully active Student Members your Chapter has billed in Spring 2026 to how many fully active Student Members are billed in Fall 2026.

Nationally Inactive Members are not included in this calculation. Only fully active Student Members count toward the percentage. Graduates are factored into this number, meaning if a Member graduates at the end of Spring 2026, they will not be expected to return in Fall 2026 and will not negatively impact your Chapter’s retention rate.

However, when calculating recruitment goals we do consider graduation rates. It is always a good idea to update anticipated graduation dates and be aware of when the Chapter may be facing large graduating classes so you can factor this into your recruitment planning. 

The focus is on Members who remain active and continue their membership without taking an inactive status.

Term-to-Term Retention Challenge

Goal: Retain as many Student Members as possible from term to term. 

To support the long-term success, sustainability, and impact of your Chapter, the National Office is offering Chapter Credit for meeting retention goals.

Chapter Credit can be applied toward:

  • The Chapter’s National Dues payments
  • The Chapter’s Grand Chapter Meeting Delegate’s registration fee

Benchmarks & Incentives

  • Level 1 — 85-89% Retention: $50 Chapter Credit
  • Level 2 — 90-99% Retention: $100 Chapter Credit
  • Level 3 — 100% Retention: $150 Chapter Credit

Details

  • Retention percentages are calculated using the number of fully active Student Members billed in Spring 2026 compared to fully active Student Members billed in Fall 2026.
  • Credits will be applied directly to the Chapter’s account with the National Office.
  • Chapters reaching both their recruitment goal and 100% retention will receive both the maximum credit and a special spotlight feature in the Annual Report.

Examples

Example 1 — 85% Retention:

  • Spring 2025: 100 fully active Student Members billed
  • Fall 2026: 85 fully active Student Members billed
  • 85 ÷ 100 = 85% retention = Chapter earns $75 credit

Example 2 — 90% Retention:

  • Spring 2025: 100 fully active Student Members billed
  • Fall 2026: 90 fully active Student Members billed
  • 90 ÷ 100 = 90% retention = Chapter earns $100 credit

Example 3 — 100% Retention:

  • Spring: 100 fully active Student Members billed
  • Fall 2026: 100 fully active Student Members billed
  • 0 resignations = 100% retention = Chapter earns $150 credit
