Who
is eligible to join?

least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the close of any curricular period during their
first year.

Must
I be inducted at a particular time?
Although members prefer to be inducted with their classmates,
you do not lose eligibility by missing an induction. You may be inducted later
or privately.
Top
Is
Phi Eta Sigma a social fraternity?
Although some chapters have social events, Phi Eta Sigma is
not a social fraternity. There is a dignified induction ceremony to which your
parents and friends may be invited. Most chapters have projects and activities
promoting academic excellence, but your participation is
completely optional.
Top
Must
I maintain my average?
No, life-time membership is conferred upon induction.
Top
How
much does membership cost?
The national membership fee is $10, payable once, the lowest
of any major honor society. Local chapters assess an additional fee, also
payable once. The total Missouri State fee is $55 which covers reception costs and
activities throughout the school year.
Top
What
do I get for the $10 national fee?
Your national fee of $10 pays for your pin or charm, your
engraved membership certificate, and your copy of the FORUM. It pays expenses of
chapter delegates to the national convention and pays for a study pamphlet
provided free to campuses with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma for distribution to
all new students.
A portion of the $10 goes to the Founders Fund, which
provides up to ten $2000 graduate scholarships and more than twenty $1000 awards
to undergraduates.
Top
Who
is eligible for the scholarships?
Cash graduate scholarships of $2000 and undergraduate awards
of $1000 are given to members of Phi Eta Sigma selected by the national
scholarship committee. Any graduating member
may apply for the graduate
scholarships, which are for the first year only of graduate school.
Active members
applying for the undergraduate awards must be nominated by their chapters
and have satisfied the points requirement.
Your local chapter advisor (Dana Carrol) has the application
forms; national deadline is March 1. Many local chapters also award
scholarships.
Top
How
large is the Missouri State chapter?
The Missouri State chapter has nearly 1,100 enrolled students.
Top
What
will the reception be like?
Following the induction ceremony you will receive your pin or
charm, membership certificate and copy of the FORUM. You can also purchase a Phi
Eta Sigma t-shirt at this time. As always there will be great food and plenty of
it!!!
Top
How
do Phi Eta Sigma members rank among the
nation's college students?
Be proud. As a member of Phi Eta Sigma you will rank among
the top 1% of all college students!
Top
What is the point system?
In the Spring 2005 semester, a new Point
System will be adopted by Phi Eta Sigma. This point system is designed to
recognize and reward those member of Phi Eta Sigma who are actively
participating in the organization. For every event or activity in which
you take part in, you will receive points. To be eligible for the Phi Eta
Sigma scholarships, you must accumulate 6 points the entire year before turning in the
scholarship application.
