Associate Recruitment
Associate recruitment goes through a separate process from formal recruitment which occurs during the first few weeks of school! Potential new members can participate in both formal and associate recruitment.
Who is Alpha Omega Epsilon?
An associate chapter chartered in 2006, the Sigma chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon was founded to give minority groups in STEM a sense of community and support within male-dominated fields. Their members work actively to empower others professionally and academically, as well as provide a sense of community where under-represented genders can grow as individuals and future leaders.
Alpha Omega Epsilon’s colors are Royal Blue, White, and Silver; their symbol is the Dolphin; their flower is the White Rose; and their philanthropies are Dress for Success and the FIRST Robotics.
Preparing for Associate Recruitment:
Over the Summer:
Take the time to fill out our interest form that can also be found on our website. That way, a sister can reach out to contact you and give you some more information/answer any questions you may have! In the meantime, feel free to reach out to our Director of Recruitment, Nina Kesava, at recruitment.gtaoe@gmail.com. You can also browse our recruitment page or instagram for more information.
More information about our nights are coming soon!
During Associate Recruitment
The dates for Associate Recruitment will be released soon!
Attend one of our info nights! Only attending one of these is required, and it’ll be a casual night (no dress code) to get to know us a little better and meet us for the first time! You’ll also learn more about what recruitment and candidacy look like, and what it would look like to be an active member.
Then we have our four recruitment events: professional night, leadership night, friendship night, and lastly, interview night for eligible members only. Each night has a different dress code, but don’t worry too much about them! They’re just to make the nights more fun, so try and come in whatever you have access to.
To learn more about each of the recruitment nights and what eligibility entails, please click here. Also, if you’d like to read more about what it would look like to be a candidate and active member, check out our mini guide on AΩE.
