The Chapter Management Program (CMP), a web-based program, is the method of formal communication between collegiate chapters and the national Fraternity. The program is divided into three achievement levels representing basic operational requirements in recruitment, membership, finances, professional and service programs, and leadership development for collegiate chapters during an academic year. These sections reflect the practice of essential business principles and operations expected of each chapter as part of our professional business Fraternity, as well as the professional and leadership development opportunities for each member. The three levels a chapter can achieve are Accredited Chapter, Chapter of Recognition and Chapter of Excellence. Every chapter is expected to achieve the Accredited Level.
