The applicants are seniors. Once you're an Alpha Affiliate, you don't lose your affiliation with your original chapter. You simply have two chapters and two badge numbers.
Again, I don't want to tread where I shouldn't. But if I may, once the Alpha Chapter members are selected for a given year, do they affiliate all together back in Lexington or on each members' campus?

And as a follow up, I suspect that there is some sort of nomination procedure that would take place during the members’ senior year. As such, is the affiliation with the Alpha Chapter at a certain time of the year? Just guessing, but during the spring semester to allow seniors to receive honors and be nominated. Or perhaps after graduation?

Again, I understand and respect if this is private. I just find this a nice tradition and a great way to honor your Alpha Chapter.
