ANNUAL REPORTS ARE IMPORTANTChapter Annual Report forms will be mailed to chapter sponsors in April. It is very important that all sponsors fill out and return this form to headquarters by September 1. The annual-report form helps your chapter to remain in compliance with Internal Revenue Service regulations pertaining to your chapter's obligation to submit information to headquarters. The international office will gladly file a Form 990-N tax return on your chapter's behalf based on your answers to the two financial questions on the annual-report form. Please help us to keep your chapter in compliance with the IRS regulations, so that our society and your chapter will maintain our tax-exempt status. |

PI GAMMA MU SOLICITS YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORTWhile Pi Gamma Mu is not the largest or wealthiest of the 68 national and international honor societies affiliated with the national Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), arguably our international officers and trustees and our chapter sponsors are the hardest-working volunteers who can be found in any of the societies. Please, would you consider being one of our tenacious partners? We gratefully accept donations of any size. |
MEET YOUR REPRESENTATIVEGreetings fellow Pi Gamma Mu members, my name is Matthew Tucciarone and I serve as one of the student representatives for the Board of Trustees. I was formerly the president and founder of the newly- reactivated Zeta Chapter at Florida State University. I am very proud to be such a big part of Pi Gamma Mu, in which I uphold the ideals of scholarship and service in the social sciences to my fullest capacity. I would like to give a big thanks to Pi Gamma Mu - I would not be where I am at today if it was not for this organization. |
