WayneCHAPTER 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.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN AN HONOR SOCIETY WHILE JUDGING CREDIBILITY

ACHSHonor 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.
