Inspire Ambition Through Advocacy
The Fraternal Government Relations Coalition (FGRC) is a nonpartisan coalition formed by the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee, and the Fraternity and Sorority Action Fund to work collaboratively on federal government relations issues that impact the fraternity and sorority community. Each year FGRC provides the opportunity for collegiate fraternity and sorority members to directly engage in the federal legislative process by lobbying on issues of importance to our community.
Alpha Omicron Pi is seeking outstanding campus and chapter leaders to participate in the FGRC Capitol Hill Visits with lawmakers and/or their staffs in April 2025 to advocate for government relations platforms developed by NPC and NIC. These topics include protecting student freedom of association rights, creating national anti-hazing laws and improving college affordability. You should not apply if you do not feel comfortable advocating for these legislative issues.
The Hill Visits will take place April 1-2, 2025, in Washington, D.C. If selected, you will be expected to participate in prep work and a training session leading up to the visits. It is important that you know you will need to miss class to participate in the meetings with lawmakers and should be prepared to plan accordingly with professors.
If you are interested in participating, please complete the application below to let us know of your interest by November 30, 2024. We will review student applications and nominate our top applicants to the FGRC. Alpha Omicron Pi will make recommendations on qualified recipients to the Fraternal Government Relations Coalition, which will then notify students of whether they were selected to participate in January.
If you have any questions about the legislative agenda, the application process or the 2025 FGRC Hill Visits, please email aoiihq@alphaomicronpi.org.
