SEEKING NEW CHAPTERS

Pi Gamma Mu is seeking to charter new chapters at colleges and universities around the globe. Call 620-221-3128 or email [email protected] to learn more. There is no cost to the university to host a chapter of the society and there are many benefits of membership. Members are eligible to apply for one of eleven annual scholarships, present research papers at international and regional conventions, submit articles for publication in our peer-reviewed professional journal, and those interested in federal jobs have the possibility for advancement in government service rating.

SPEND A SEMESTER IN WASHINGTON D.C. – APPLY FOR A WII INTERNSHIP

The Washington Internship Institute is now accepting applications for spring 2016.  Pi Gamma Mu members are invited to apply to spend a semester in Washington, DC!  This academic internship program is designed for college sophomores, juniors, seniors, recent college graduates, and graduate students.

DONOR RECOGNITION

While Pi Gamma Mu is not the largest or wealthiest of the 66 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.  Donations of $25 or more are acknowledged both on our Web site and in the Pi Gamma Mu Newsletter. 

WELCOME, NEW CHAPTERS!

Welcome to our latest new chapter North Carolina Alpha Beta – Chowan University.

Several new and reactivated chapters were added into the Pi Gamma Mu family during the 2014-15 academic year; we have added one new chapter and seven reactivations to our rolls. Two universities were approved for charter and are currently conducting membership drives.

ACHS MEMBERSHIP PROTECTS THE LEGITIMACY OF HONOR SOCIETIES

Pi Gamma Mu is one of 66 members 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 website (www.achsnatl.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 send your new email address to [email protected] or go to our website (www.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.
