The existence of AGC student chapters indicates student interest in the professional construction industry. This exposure of construction students to the working industry is vital to the preparation of future industry practitioners.

Construction is the nation's largest industry. Hospitals, schools, highways, water treatment plants, airports, bridges, and shopping malls—every American is directly affected by construction. It is an industry with unlimited potential and opportunity.

Membership is one of AGC's 150+ nationally chartered student chapters offers an extraordinary opportunity to learn more about construction; to further develop you abilities; and to observe the industry in which you will work after graduation.

Housed under the Residential Construction Academy, and funded by NAHB, corporate partners, and student member dues, the National Association of Home Builders Student Chapters program helps to enrich the educational experience of students enrolled in construction-related fields such as: 

• construction management
• engineering
• architecture
• real estate
• the trades

Student chapter membership of the National Association of Women in Construction is open to women enrolled in construction-related programs at institutions of higher education and vocational training programs. Membership benefits are the same as an active chapter membership except students cannot vote or hold office.

The fundamental purpose of Sigma Lambda Chi is to provide recognition to outstanding students in construction curricula. Sigma Lambda Chi is the society that offers students the opportunity to be recognized locally and internationally for their academic accomplishments as a construction major.  SLC is by invitation only, based on GPA.

Aside from the fundamental purpose, Sigma Lambda Chi has three objectives:

• The first is to render service to the major field of study. This is accomplished by active student participation in tasks and events that affect the construction program that houses the local Sigma Lambda Chi chapter.
• The second objective is to develop good relations among campus, industry, and the public. Undertaking projects which further this purpose is expected of members of Sigma Lambda Chi.
• The third objective is to recognize outstanding professional individuals in construction. Sigma Lambda Chi has honorary membership classifications that can be bestowed upon individuals who deserve special recognition because of their contribution to construction education or some facet of the construction industry.
