JOINING THE FHC

When a local House Association owns a home, the process to join the FHC involves a vote of the House Association membership. This includes all initiated members in Good Standing of that particular chapter. The FHC staff works with the local House Association and chapter to educate members as well as to prepare for and execute this type of vote.

Note: Each process varies depending on governing documents and state laws. 

When a chapter that leases a house, dorm, suite or lodge from a landlord or university, the process to join the FHC is decided by the chapter’s Executive Council officers and advisors. A vote of the House Association membership is NOT required.

Note: Each process varies depending on governing documents and state laws. 

When a chapter's property is kept in storage and there is no chapter facility or meeting place, the process to join the FHC is decided by the chapter's Executive Council officers and advisors. A vote of the House Association membership is NOT required.
