DEADLINE FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS IS FEBRUARY 15 - APPLY TODAY!Each year, Pi Gamma Mu awards 11 scholarships to outstanding members. Three scholarships are worth $2000 each, and the other eight are worth $1000 each. These scholarships are intended for the first or second year of graduate work in the social sciences. If you are interested in applying, you should start putting your information together right away. | THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWIn general, service on the Board of Trustees offers many rewards. Perhaps the most important reward involves recognition of student excellence and seeing the joy students show upon their recognition. Sometimes Trustee responsibility involves making hard decisions--raising membership fees exemplifies a hard decision. |

MEET YOUR REPRESENTATIVEPi Gamma Mu is a unique honor society in a number of ways, two of which I find particularly valuable to its members. First and foremost, Pi Gamma Mu recognizes excellence in all of the social sciences and, therefore, creates an environment in which individuals from a variety of disciplines can come together to share their interests, research, and lives. |
Dear Chapter Sponsors,As you know, 2014-2015 is an important year for Pi Gamma Mu. The society celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2014 and this year we are focusing on growth. In order to maintain fiscal stability and prepare for a strong future we must continue to grow by inviting more outstanding students who deserve to be honored by an invitation to become lifetime members and we ask for your help. |

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDThe scholarship award is a time-honored tradition of Pi Gamma Mu. This award has been in use since the early days of the organization. Once a year chapters have the privilege of awarding one medal to a person who has distinguished him/herself in the social sciences. It has usually been given to an outstanding student as a prize for scholarship and/or service. However, it may also go to some other person deserving recognition in this field or to a faculty officer of a Pi Gamma Mu chapter. |

ACHS MEMBERSHIP PROTECTS THE LEGITIMACY OF HONOR SOCIETIESPi Gamma Mu is one of 66 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. |
CHANGE OF ADDRESSPi 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 (www.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. |
