Reinstating a Chapter
If your college or university once had an Alpha Eta Rho chapter that you wish to reinstate, the steps are the same as starting a new chapter, except you will use the same Greek designation your chapter once held.
If you wish to confirm whether you will be reinstating or starting fresh, please email the National Office via executivedirector@alphaetarho.org. You may request your previous Greek designation the same way.
