INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATE MEMBER

The Board of Trustees has established a new category of membership in Pi Gamma Mu – the International Affiliate Membership.  Please think about the foreign students and visiting faculty on your campus that might fit into this category, and consider the benefits of choosing them for this special membership.

The purposes of International Affiliate Membership are to associate foreign visitors with Pi Gamma Mu, individuals who generally are not eligible for full membership because of their brief tenure on a campus; to encourage the international dimension of Pi Gamma Mu by bringing into greater contact with PGM our foreign guests, to enable them to provide information to colleagues abroad about Pi Gamma Mu; and, to become a nucleus for foreign chapter development.  Therefore the membership criteria are broadly cast.

Criteria for membership:  Students, faculty, administrators, and distinguished guests from other nations who have an interest in the social sciences.

Benefits:

1. A certificate issued by International Headquarters in recognition of International Affiliate Member status (not the full membership certificate).
2. A Pi Gamma Mu key.
3. A one-year subscription to the International Social Science Review.
4. The privilege of participating in local chapter activities, except for serving as an officer.

Cost: $20 to be sent by the chapter to International Headquarters to cover the expenses of the publications, mailings, and key.
