Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society

Phi Eta Sigma is a national honor society for college freshmen.  Their goal is to encourage and reward academic excellence among first-year students in institutions of higher learning.

The oldest and largest freshmen honor society, Phi Eta Sigma was founded at the University of Illinois on March 22, 1923.  They now have more than 300 chapters throughout the United States and more than 900,000 inducted members.

Phi Eta Sigma was voted  membership into the Association of College Honor Societies in 1937.  Only three societies have had longer continuous membership.  Their members take a great deal of pride in the 75-year accomplishments of our society despite the fact that they have the lowest membership fee of any member of the association.

On campuses with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, all first-year students are eligible to join who have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the close of any full-time curricular period during their first year.

Phi Eta Sigma is an outward recognition of personal accomplishment and serves as an incentive for continued high scholarship.  It provides you the opportunity to meet scholars from all academic disciplines on your campus and to join them in promoting academic excellence and campus and community service.  Also, you may apply for scholarships provided by national and some local chapters.
