Students Inducted into Phi Eta Sigma

Campbell University recently installed 70 new members in the university chapter of Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society. Phi Eta Sigma is a national honor society inspired by the past and dedicated to the future. Its goal is to encourage and reward academic excellence among freshmen enrolled in institutions of higher education.

The oldest and largest freshman honor society, Phi Eta Sigma was founded at the University of Illinois in March 1923, and now has more than 300 chapters throughout the United States and more than 700,000 members.

Phi Eta Sigma was voted membership into the Association of College Honor Societies in 1937. Only three societies have had longer continuous membership.

Induction is an outward recognition of personal accomplishment and serves as an incentive for continued high scholarship. It provides members the opportunity to meet freshmen scholars from all academic disciplines on their campuses. Members may apply for scholarships available from national and local chapters.

Freshmen students selected for membership must possess an overall GPA of 3.5 or higher and must be in the upper 20 percent of their class. The Campbell University Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma was chartered in 1974.

Among the honorary inductees this year were Campbell professors Dr. James Martin, Dr. Kathryn Lopez, and Ms. Jennifer Davis (Adjunct).

Founded in 1887, Campbell University is North Carolina’s second largest private institution and the second largest Baptist university in the world. Located in Buies Creek, NC, just east of the center of the state, Campbell combines academic excellence and Christian commitment.
