During the fall of 2009, Handell proposed a bylaw amendment providing for the recruitment of first-semester freshmen through the creation of Beta Alpha chapter's groundbreaking Affiliate Program. The bylaw was passed and the first class of Affiliates numbered six students, four of whom were initiated into the Alpha Kappa class in the winter of 2010.
