The 2007 Chapter Honor Award was awarded to AIAS University of Kansas. The continued growth and success of the chapter, the financial stability, and the chapter’s many public and community events were highly praised by the jury. In his letter of support Dean John C. Gaunt, FAIA, "This is a chapter that enthusiastically and successfully engages in specific activities that support the School and Profession – and they also contribute significantly to the cultural life of the School. They know how to have a good time, be responsible, and how to widen their circle to get others involved--socially, academically, and professionally."

The AIAS conducts much of its activity within the local chapters where student concerns and first hand experiences may be addressed most effectively. Student chapters are chartered at colleges and universities that offer pre-professional, para-professional, or professional programs in architecture, or at high schools.

The requirements for an AIAS chapter include recognition from the host institution; payment of the appropriate dues; submission of all membership materials; and the designation of a student contact (i.e., the chapter president). Chapters in their first year are exempt from paying the annual chapter dues (currently $275).
