Recruitment is the lifeblood of KA. Without adding new members to our brotherhood, our chapters and the Order would eventually cease to exist. Remember, recruitment is not for just a few weeks, but throughout the year, and every member should be involved in the process. The following resources will help you have a successful recruitment.
Leadership Education
Become a Certified Chapter Recruiter!
Offered every year during the Emerging Leaders Academy, the Certified Chapter Recruiter Course (CCRC) is designed to educate and motivate brothers on the core principles of recruitment.
