CALIFORNIA TAU CELEBRATES BY FRAMING ITS CHARTER CERTIFICATE

The California Tau Chapter at the University of San Francisco celebrated its chapter by framing its charter certificate.  The Chapter selected a yellow and green matte to match the University colors. 

SUMMER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Did you know that summer is an excellent time for a Pi Gamma Mu membership drive?   Faculty and students alike often have more free time during the summer to consider extracurricular activities like Pi Gamma Mu.  We want to count all chapters as "active" in 2018-19, and it's not too late to induct members this fiscal year.  Our fiscal year ends on August 31, so if you haven't inducted any members this year, your chapter still has time to be counted on this year's rolls by sending in members.  

CHAPTER REPORTS DUE AUGUST 15

Chapter annual report forms are due on August 15.  Many chapters have already sent in their forms and we thank you.  If you have not sent in your chapter's form, it is not too late.  The form is available on our Website. We appreciate each Chapter Faculty Sponsor taking the few minutes to complete and return this report.

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW

Pi Gamma Mu's commitment to scholarship in the social sciences is manifested most tangibly through the publication of our peer-reviewed journal, the International Social Science Review. 

ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE HONOR SOCIETIES

Pi Gamma Mu is one of 70 members of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), which is the authority on standards and definitions for the honor society movement. ACHS has stepped up efforts to alert the higher education community to the standards of traditional honor societies. In contrast, some new so-called honor societies exist online and allow self-nomination, accepting fees with no questions asked. If in doubt about an organization, you can check out the ACHS Web site (www.achsnatl.org) for the list of honor societies that are members.

CHANGE OF EMAIL ADDRESS

Pi Gamma Mu communicates with its lifetime members via email. Anytime your email address changes, such as after graduation or when you change jobs, please notify the Pi Gamma Mu office immediately. This will prevent your emails from being interrupted or discontinued. Simply email your new email address to [email protected] or go to our Web site (pigammamu.org) to change your address information. We will need both your old email address and your new email address to update our records. Thank you very much for taking a few minutes to keep your information current.
