We are currently upgrading our operational systems to enhance our services and better serve you. During this process, our operations will be temporarily paused including the intake of new memberships, the printing and mailing of certificates for new inductees and the acceptance of new chapter applications. Merchandise orders will be processed, but on a delayed schedule.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our team is working hard to complete these upgrades and resume normal operations as soon as possible.
We will be fully operational by October 27, 2025.
Thank you for your patience and support. We’re excited to bring you an improved experience soon!
