On campuses with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, all first-year students are eligible to join who have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the close of any full-time curricular period during their first year.
Life-time membership is conferred upon induction, and maintaining the grade-point average is not required. Although students will prefer to be inducted with their classmates, eligibility is not lost by missing an induction; one may be inducted at a regularly scheduled induction ceremony.
Upon induction members will receive an academic key or tie tac, membership certificate, and a copy of the national magazine, Forum of Phi Eta Sigma.
To be inducted, new members must participate in eight events during their induction semester. The following eight events are required:
- Two academic/leadership events
- Two community service events
- Two social events
- One fundraising event
- One general credit
The seventh event can by ANY event of your choice.
Once you have been inducted, you are a member for live. However, to maintain an active status in our chapter (and be eligible for scholarships and other benefits) you must attend four events per semester plus any mandatory fundraising for three semesters.
If you attend all three general meetings during the fall semester it will count as one credit.
