Step 1: Recruit five members.
All chapter members are required to join OSA's national organization. Students may join online or use the enrollment forms.
Not sure who is an OSA member at your school? E-mail chaptersandsections@osa.org and we may be able to provide you with a list.
Step 2: Elect officers.
We also strongly recommend that the chapter have a faculty advisor.
Step 3: Submit the OSA Student Chapter Application.
Submit your application to chaptersandsections@osa.org or mail it to:
