  Welcome to AHP Theta Chapter

   Welcome to Theta Chapter which is the Western Michigan University chapter of Alpha Eta Rho (AHP).  AHP is a coed international aviation fraternity which provides students an opportunity to meet and socialize with other aviation students and professionals in the field. The organization brings together outstanding students, interested faculty and serves as an outstanding networking medium for the purpose of obtaining a rewarding career in the aviation industry. This even includes the maintenance, engineering, and manufacturing aspects of the industry.

   Alpha Eta Rho serves to actively associate interested students of aviation with leaders and executives in the industry. This close association, strengthened through the bonds of an international aviation fraternity, establishes opportunities for all members in their relation to aviation and inspires interest and cooperation among those in the profession who are also members of Alpha Eta Rho.

   Checkout one or all of the events that are going on throughout the year. Also checkout the display board at the Battle Creek Airport near the dispatch desk for any upcoming events or information.
