Title | MS 364 - Association of Fraternity Advisors |
---|---|
Introduction | The Association of Fraternity Advisors donated their archives to the Center for Archival Collections in December of 1983, to be part of the National Student Affairs Archives. Additional donations of records occur periodically. The collection is comprised of board minutes, by-laws, former officer files, regional association reports, conference files, financial records, committee files, publications and photographs, dating largely from 1976 to the present. No restrictions exist on the research use of the collection and copying is permitted for administrative and scholarly purposes. The collection was arranged and finding aid written by W. Alex Smith, archival assistant, in July 2006. The Association of Fraternity Advisors was founded in 1976 as an organization which gave individuals concerned with the fraternity/sorority movement an avenue for professional growth and development. Growing quickly, AFA began developing the first of many position statements, one on alcohol and one on hazing, holding conferences and publishing a newsletter. Eventually AFA developed a code of ethics for professionals working with fraternities and sororities on college campuses. Today, as it was at its inception, the AFA’s mission is to enhance its members’ ability to create fraternity and sorority experiences that positively affect students, host institutions and communities. This mission is undertaken by the AFA’s five regions. These five regions provide cooperation and professional stimulation to the fraternities and sororities of the US and Canada.
