Member Orientation
Member orientation is a four-to-six week introductory program designed to help new members make a successful transition into Kappa Alpha Theta.

As part of the program, new members will do the following:
- Attend in-person modules, community building events, and chapter meetings;
- Complete e-learning courses;
- Make meaningful connections with members of the chapter;
- Learn about Theta and campus-specific resources available to collegians; and
- Participate in Kappa Alpha Theta ritual services.
