How to join
Steps of the recruitment process
Step 01
Pre-recruitment opportunities
There are five pre-recruitment opportunities this fall - one Open Chapter, two interest meetings, and two application workshops (all listed above). Attend as many as you can. Make sure to fill out the Fall 2026 Prospective Member Interest Form to receive the application.
Step 02
Submit your application
Apply to AED by filling out the Fall 2026 application. It is also sent to everyone who completes the interest form.
Step 03
Wait to hear back
After submitting, wait to be contacted by the AED executive board. AED will contact all candidates by email, and an applicant will either be invited to rush AED or be declined.
Step 04
Come to rush events
Attend as many AED recruitment events as you can and mingle with other applicants, current members, and board members. This step is highly recommended and will be taken into consideration in regards to your acceptance/rejection. All recruitment events have a dress code of business casual!
Step 05
Interview
If the applicant is invited to an interview, he/she will need to attend their chosen interview time. More information will be sent via email with the time and place. Following the interview, the applicant will be notified if they are accepted or rejected based on evaluation from the AED board members.
Step 06
New member form & dues
An accepted applicant will need to fill out the new member form and submit it. The last step is to pay the new member dues.
Step 07
Deadlines matter
If an accepted applicant does not turn in either the new member form or dues by the designated due date, the application process will be considered incomplete and the accepted applicant will be declined.
Step 08
Induction
The application process is now complete and accepted members will be given information about the formal induction ceremony. Attending the formal induction ceremony is mandatory. If there is a conflict with your schedule and the induction date, contact AED at uofscaed@gmail.com.
A declined applicant can always re-apply the following semester and is encouraged to do so!
