An Alumni and Volunteer Corporation (AVC) is an independent, non-profit corporation established to serve and benefit the alumni, volunteers and undergraduates of a specific chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Because undergraduate chapter membership turns over every four years, the AVC provides continuity by maintaining a long-term perspective. AVCs that focus on the following will ensure the long-term growth and success of the chapter: Mentoring undergraduates, cultivating alumni, managing assets, and maintaining corporate health. The volunteers on the AVC are responsible for advising and counseling the undergraduate leaders of the chapter.  Effective mentors will help to shape the direction of the chapter in recruitment, member development, leadership development and fiscal health.
