Volunteers are the heart of AFA. It is through the strength and commitment of our volunteers that the association remains responsive to its membership. AFA volunteers are an essential vehicle for identifying the opportunities and challenges facing the fraternity and sorority profession. Through our volunteer management program, leaders from all aspects of fraternity and sorority advising are brought together to help AFA make the best decisions in moving forward.
The Call for Volunteers opens each year in August. Stay tuned for more information on the 2026 volunteer term later this year!
Priority Deadline for Leadership Positions will be in the Fall.
If you’re looking to serve AFA as a Committee Chair, Coordinator, Regional Director, and/or publication Editor, there will be a fall priority deadline to complete the Call for Volunteers form.
