“
We have felt the effects of the recession. Our chapters are located in areas which were hurt with very high unemployment, consequently many students were unable to pay the annual fee.
We see membership improving now.
” “ Registrations jumped about 16 percent in 2010-11. We credit primarily our new online registration system for the increase, which makes it easier for our larger institutions to invite and process members and simpler for students to accept the invitation, register, and pay fees. ” “ New memberships in Alpha Kappa Delta have remained generally constant over the past few years; however, it slightly increased during this past year. ” “ Problem keeping advisors. Inductions are up. ” “ slight increase; third year reached over 30,000 new members ” “ membership has held steady ” “ Membership was down this year. ” “ Inducting more women than men Chapters increasingly using online appliations and internet communications Board increasingly active and mission focused ” “ 2010-11 academic year set a record for number of initiates. ” “ During the last fiscal year, Beta Kappa Chi Honor Society experienced an approximate 4% increase in enrollment possibly due to the persistence of the on-campus advisors and student ambassadors. This consciencious action on their part was endorsed at the national meeting when we noticed there was a decrease this past year. At the national meeting, BKX Advisors and Sponsors decided to push for an increase in membership numbers for the upcoming year. Suggestions included partnering initiation ceremonies with other organizations that had similar objectives as well as soliciting university wide mailing lists of qualified students from the registrar's office. ” “ We continue to grow in new chapters, reactivation of inactive chapters, sustain record levels in renewal and new memberships in the Society. ” “ Gaining Chapters & Co-Chapters at an increasing rate. The recent ACBSP addition of Webster University and University of Phoenix has greatly contributed directly and to this growth trend. Set up new online system for handling online student bodies. ” “ Slight increase over past years. ” “ New membership seems to be on an upwards trend. Renewals have remained the same as compared to the past two years (2009 and 2010). ” “ We continue to have strong growth annually. ” “ Membership rose slightly ” “ Acceptances increased by more than eight per cent, much of it due to a "Two More" campaign initiated during the year. Chapter advisers were encouraged to make an extra effort to get "two more" students to accept the invitation from those who had not responded. Successful advisers used multiple methods to gain additional acceptances, including phone calls, e-mails, contacting advisers of invited students, etc. Although the methods were hardly new, the idea of encouraging advisers to be more pro-active seemed to be effective: most chapters noted higher acceptance levels. ” “ Growing at around a 1-2 % rate. ” “ This was an "up" year for Lambda Sigma. The chapters on probation had solid years as did our new chapters. ” “ Steady ” “ * With marketing remaining one of the top majors in the country, our applicant pool has grown * We're also seeing more inductees in masters and Ph.D. programs * Our current members are taking greater advantage of the benefits offered to them. * Our current members take great pride in their affiliation by purchasing more than one item of regalia. Instead of just an honor cord or stole, they seem to purchase both. ” “ We have written the three ROTC commands seeking support for our Society, and are now writing all unit commanders urging the recognition of eligible students and providing flyers for posting. We anticipate a significant increase in membership over the next year as a result. ” “ NSCS member trends are remaining steady over the years, with possible increases as we open new chapters on more campuses. We're also seeing a steady growth in non-traditional student members. ” “ The rate of new members is declining despite the general trend of increasing student enrollment in chemical engineering that we see nationally. We are seeing some interest in new chapters. ” “ Mostly flat. There was one chapter added in 2010, but the number of chapters has not increased significantly in years, and the total number of new members inducted in the past year has increased only slightly. ” “ Cyclical highs and lows, but with overall slow, steady increase. ” “ Membership is declining over the past decade. ” “ Mainly undergraduates joining for the first time. ” “ Our 2010-2011 school year was our second best year ever. Our new member total for the year was up 17% over the preceding year, though the preceding year had been down quite a bit. We had been in a slight downward trend for our new members, but the last year was very good. ” “ Decrease from previous year but not a trend ” “ Membership trends are consistent in that inductions are held mostly during the months of March through June inducting students before they graduate from colleges and universities. There are some inductions that take place in the fall of the year, but most are done in the spring. ” “ Membership up slightly ” “ Membership trends are declining as business education programs are closed at universities around the United States. ” “ After a falloff in 2008, we feel initiations have come back up to prior numbers. ” “ Slight upswing in membership from last year at same time. ” “ increasing international interest ” “ Membership increasing due to addition of new chapters ” “ Increase of approximately 3 per cent over last academic year's total inductees. More online chapters being installed. ” “ Increased some ” “ Currently stable after a trough. Though a slight upward trend may be discernible. ” “ We continue to grow each year both in chapters and membership. ” “ Overall active membership remains steady, retention rates have declined slightly but are making a slow rebound ” “ New inductees have remained constant over the past three years with averaging around 520 per year The number of chapters continue to decline due to schools eliminating engineering technology from the offerings and chapters who have been de activated ” “ Slight increase in number of students initiated compared to last year. ” “ Trend of alumni members requesting active status continues; digitization of membership records has been completed so we can henceforth track more accurately. ” “ Continuing increases in annual membership totals for the last four years. ” |
