Applicants who meet the criteria will be informed of their status as a candidate for UPE membership. Prior to the formal UPE membership initiation, each candidate will be required to complete the UPE candiate requirements. These requirements include:

A service requirement of performing at least two service activities for the chapter or department (ex. setting up UPE events, volunteering in department outreach activities, tutoring, etc.)

A social requirement of interaction with UPE members as specified for the current year (ex. collecting signatures, finding earliest initiate, etc.)

Candidates who successfully complete the UPE candidate requirements will be initiated in the UPE induction ceremony. This ceremony may be held once a semester or once a year.
