Chi Alpha Epsilon

Chi Alpha Epsilon was organized at West Chester University of Pennsylvania in 1990 in order to recognize the academic achievements of students admitted to colleges and universities through non-traditional criteria.

Its purposes are to promote continued high academic standards, to foster increased communication among its members, and to honor academic excellence achieved by those students. The involvement of eligible alumni enables networking for members.

The Gamma Eta Chapter of Chi Alpha Epsilon was chartered at Farmingdale State College on December 6, 2001.
