Alpha Chi extends invitations for membership to the top 10 percent of eligible juniors, seniors and graduate students across all academic disciplines.
“As an interdisciplinary honor society, members more easily collaborate and build friendships with other top students across a variety of academic majors,” said Tarver. “One of the society’s most prestigious competitions annually is built specifically to encourage academic collaboration.”
Since 1922, Alpha Chi College Honor Society has inducted more than 500,000 individuals representing some 300 chapters across 45 states. The society averages 10,000 new members annually.
