Pledging with a criminal record

Hello All,

I come to you because I need some advice.

I am currently attempting to become a member of a graduate chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. I am almost certain that they will do a background check during the application process.

About 2 and a half years ago (April 2009) I got into a fight and was charged with 2nd degree assault, a misdemeanor in my state. The case was dismissed and I have since learned my lesson. I was 20 and in college at the time and realize that it was a stupid thing to do, but it was also a learning experience.

My record is not expunged so I am worried that they will see this and will hold it against me. Aside from this, I believe I have wonderful credentials and would make a great member, but I'm just worried whoever reviews applications wont look past this.

Can anyone shed some insight.

Thanks.

I am an Alpha.

The background check is certain.

If you follow the steps to apply as noted on the national website, then you will have an answer as to whether it will count against you. Even I personally as a member can't tell you the answer to that, but if you do what you're supposed to do, the answer will be revealed.
