2018 CHAPTER HONOR ROLLS ANNOUNCED

Each year, the Pi Gamma Mu International Board of Trustees recognizes Pi Gamma Mu's most active chapters by placing them on the annual Roll of Distinction (the highest award for chapters) and Roll of Merit.

The Rolls are the result of the Awards Committee's evaluation of the annual reports filed by chapter officers.  Among the criteria reported are facts indicative of the activity and effectiveness of the chapter on its campus, as well as its efficiency of operation according to procedures suggested or required by the international board.

NATIONAL SERVICE PROJECT

The 2018-2019 academic year marks the third consecutive year that chapters throughout Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in the Social Sciences have come together to participate in a society-wide service project to serve their respective communities.  This spring participating chapters will collect donations for a charity in their community in support of the homeless.

PARTNER SCHOLARSHIPS

Members of honor societies certified by the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), including Pi Gamma Mu, are eligible to receive scholarships for programs and internships provided by ACHS partners.

These valuable opportunities include Washington Internship Institute, The Fund for American Studies, The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars, The Osgood Center, The PhD Project, and United Planet.

SPRING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

At Pi Gamma Mu headquarters we are happily fulfilling orders for new membership credentials as the spring membership drive season continues. If you haven't started your chapter's spring membership drive, it's not too late! If you conducted a fall drive, would you consider conducting another drive this spring? 

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.achshonor.org) for the list of honor societies that are members.
