Connections Magazine

AFLV Connections  is the Association's quarterly magazine highlighting information, stories, best practices, and news that impact fraternity and sorority students and professionals. AFLV members receive two copies of each issue as a benefit of their membership and have the option of purchasing additional subscriptions if needed. Subscriptions are also available for non-members to purchase. The main goal of Connections is to provide members with regular opportunities for development, a connection to the Association and their peer members, and to provoke thought within members' communities that will enhance their fraternal experience and their leadership roles. 

The publication schedule is Winter (February), Spring (April), Summer (September), and Fall (November).

How do I submit work?

Any person can submit work to Connections. All pieces should be submitted directly to Connections Editor via email at connections@aflv.org, for review by the Editorial Board.

Can I subscribe to Connections, even if I'm not an AFLV member?

YES!  Connections is available to anyone.  What a great way to help educate and develop your student leaders!  The already low subscription price gets lower and lower the more you order.  Consider providing this to every member of your governing councils or to every chapter president on your campus.  You would be hard pressed to find a better, always consistent, and more cost-effective resource for those staff and students who work so hard to keep your fraternity/sorority community thriving.
