SPRING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

We wish to thank our Chapter Faculty Sponsors for their volunteerism and support, especially during this difficult time of COVID-19.  We understand that this is a challenging time for students and faculty alike and we hope that you remain safe and well.  Here at Pi Gamma Mu, we continue our work to support our chapters and members and are here to help.

CHAPTER NEWS—WAYNE STATE COLLEGE

The Nebraska Delta Chapter at Wayne State College had an active year despite the challenges of COVID-19.  The chapter's annual Graduate School/Law School workshop was held as usual but required participants to wear masks and socially distance.  The chapter also co-hosted a speaker via ZOOM.  Dean Jacobs, "the Dean of Travel", provided a speech on the topic of "Why We Need to Continue Exploring During Covid-19".

Working with their Student Senate partner, the chapter raised $600 through donations collected during the annual Festival of Trees fundraiser.  Can you find the Pi Gamma Mu tree in the photo below?  The chapter also created 'tie blankets' again in 2020 and, through the local Gifts for Kids program, donated them to local families in need. 

2021 TRIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION TO BE HELD VIRTUALLY

Considering on-going developments with COVID-19 and after thoughtful discussions with our Board of Trustees, Pi Gamma Mu has decided to move our 2021 Triennial International Convention to a fully online, virtual experience that will take place in November of 2021.  We believe that this is the safest approach, and we are excited that a virtual convention will make it possible for even more of our members to participate.  

VOL. 96, NO. 4 OF THE ISSR IS NOW LIVE

The Board of Trustees of Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Sciences is thrilled to announce the publication of Volume 96, No. 4 of the International Social Science Review.

The International Social Science Review has been in continuous publication since 1925 and is one of the oldest social science academic journals in North America.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN AN HONOR SOCIETY WHILE JUDGING CREDIBILITY

Honor Societies have existed as a part of the higher education tradition since 1885.  In 1925 the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) was established to help colleges and universities assess the value and credibility of these organizations.  Pi Gamma Mu has been an accredited member of the ACHS since 1953.

NATIONAL SERVICE PROJECT

Please join other chapters in the Pi Gamma Mu Service Project!

Chapters are working together to support veterans, the homeless and animals in animal shelters. Chapters may either choose to do one of the three components of the service project or may choose to participate in all three of the service project components.

SCHOLARSHIP MEDAL

The Pi Gamma Mu scholarship medal is a time-honored tradition of the society.  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.
