Help shape the future of credentialing in fraternity and sorority life! AFA, a member of the Higher Education Consortium for Student Affairs Certification, invites you to participate in a focus group on how credentialing can support and elevate the fraternity and sorority profession. These conversations will explore how professionals view certification—including its relevance, value, and accessibility—as well as what alternative credentialing options might serve the evolving needs of the field.
Certification is widely used in other professions but remains relatively new to fraternity and sorority life. As the Consortium reviews its certification program to ensure alignment with current workforce needs given external challenges, your input will help shape the future of credentialing in our profession.
