"I have never had to act like anyone other than me and my chapter likes me just the way I am! I've never felt that before."

There's a type of ESA membership that's just right for you!
Traditional Membership
Share in the most traditional form of Epsilon Sigma Alpha (ESA) membership. Since 1929, ESA International's traditional members have used their vast support network of local chapters to excel in community education, service, and philanthropy. Their hands-on endeavors provide more than 650,000 direct service hours and $11 million for charitable causes each year.
Collegiate Membership
Develop your resume as you share your interests in service and volunteerism as a part of your college experience. ESA collegiate membership is available on participating campuses across the nation. On college campuses that have not yet colonized an ESA chapter, there are opportunities for interested individuals to assist in the colonization process.
Alumni Membership Simply retain your collegiate membership by paying individual dues, and you will remain in your current chapter on alumni status. Your alumni status will continue until you find an existing chapter to join, or find a group who wants to charter a new chapter. This membership comes with full transfer privileges to allow for future chapter affiliation or for organizing privileges that allow for the development of a new ESA chapter within the local community. Contact us if you are interested in an alumni membership.
Life Active Membership Share a lifetime of ESA membership by making a one-time payment of dues. Then enjoy a full future, filled with no additional assessments of individual international dues. If you are interested in a life active membership please contact us.
Senior Life Active Membership
Enjoy the same benefits as a life active membership but receive a discounted rate if you are 65 years or older. If you are interested in a senior life active membership please contact us.
Member-at-Large Membership
Remain an active member of ESA by paying annual dues even though there is no affiliation with a specific chapter. The member receives the Jonquil, is eligible to attend state and international conventions, and may attend chapter meetings upon invitation of a chapter. If you are interested in a member-at-large membership please contact us.
Senior Member-At-Large
Enjoy the same benefits as a member-at-large membership but receive a discounted rate if you are 65 years or older. If you are interested in a senior member-at-large membership please contact us.
Legacy Membership
This membership is available to close family relatives of existing ESA members, including children, parents, grandchildren, grandparents, etc. It is applicable for those who are able to become chapter members or those who need to begin their ESA experience as a member-at-large.
Élan Membership Élan stands for Education–Leadership–Affirmation–Networking. This membership is youth driven, providing middle school and high school age members with opportunities to develop personal leadership skills through service-oriented activities. It encourages positive participation for youth at the level of their age and interest. Youth age 12-17 who share Élan's spirit of enthusiasm for serving others are invited to become Élan members.
DESA Membership
Here's your opportunity to give the rich heritage of an ESA membership to a special friend or younger member of your family. DESA's (Debutante of Epsilon Sigma Alpha) have their ESA membership fee paid in full when they decide to join ESA. Those in active chapters participate in a program designed to provide experience and exposure to the ideals of ESA. They gain valuable time to learn about caring and sharing in ESA and receive special attention from a very special person, their DESA sponsor.
Men of ESA Now your grandsons, nephews, sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers can officially support ESA by becoming a Man of ESA! Add the names of your special men to our growing list of Men of ESA and watch them smile as they receive their official membership card, certificate, and lapel pin.
