CONFERENCE - DISRUPTING HUMAN TRAFFICKING: ORGANIZING COMMUNITY RESPONSE

ALUMNI CORNER

The Pi Gamma Mu Alumni Corner was created by the Pi Gamma Mu Alumni Council so that Alumni could stay in touch with their updates, career activities, and key events in their lives. The Alumni Council would love to include your update in next year's July issue of the Pi Gamma Mu Newsletter.

This issue includes details of Pi Gamma Mu lifetime members from New York and Kansas.

ACHS STATEMENT TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY

START FUNDRAISING NOW TO ATTEND PI GAMMA MU'S 100th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

November 1-3, 2024, Philadelphia, PA

It can be difficult to travel while in college or graduate school, especially when money is limited. Here are a few ideas that might help you as you contemplate traveling to Pi Gamma Mu's 100th Anniversary Celebration and Triennial International Convention in Philadelphia, PA, November 1-3, 2024.

SUMMER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Pi Gamma Mu's fiscal year ends on August 31. If your chapter has not yet sent in members this year, it's not too late! We want to count your chapter among our active chapters in 2022-2023 and it is easier than ever to complete a membership drive. During the summer, many students are at home with their families who are typically very supportive of accredited honor society invitations... and sometimes pay the membership fee on their behalf. Now, with online memberships available, Pi Gamma Mu has made it easier than ever for you to induct new members whether you and your students are at home or on campus.

CHAPTER ANNUAL 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 a few minutes to complete and return this report.

PI GAMMA MU MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE

The international office is selling Pi Gamma Mu honor cords, stoles, coffee mugs, bumper stickers and more. Members can order honor cords and stoles any time during the year. They can be worn at graduation, they can be draped around your Pi Gamma Mu membership certificate on the wall, or you can be creative--but be sure to order yours. There is an order form on the merchandise page at www.pigammamu.org/store.html.

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW

Volume 99, Number 2 of Pi Gamma Mu's professional journal, the International Social Science Review is now live! Pi Gamma Mu's commitment to scholarship in the social sciences is manifested most tangibly through the publication of this blind peer-reviewed journal. The journal is presented in an open-access digital format and does not require a subscription or membership in Pi Gamma Mu, so please feel free to share it with your colleagues, students, and friends.

ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE HONOR SOCIETIES

Pi Gamma Mu is one of 67 member societies 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 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.
