List of Alpha Epsilon Rho chapters explained

Alpha Epsilon Rho (AERho) is an international scholastic honor society recognizing academic achievement among students in the field of electronic media.

Greek letter chapter names were dropped when AERho changed from a recognition society to a professional society in 1975.^[1]
