    The of Phi Sigma Iota Forum International Foreign Language Honor Society Spring 2001 Year 23. No. 1 The Forum, Spring 2001 • 1 The President’s Page In today's world where English has become the linguafranca, we often hear it affirmed that Americans no longer need to learn other languages and cultures. But how frequently do businesses create marketing nightmares by not understanding the connotations of words that are appropriate in American English, but which are very misleading or even taboo in some other culture. Translation software can never replace the human element. There will always be a need for people trained in socio-linguistics and individual languages who can consult with businesses who plan a marketing strategy in a "foreign" country. Businesses who are careful to hire or consult with language experts can avoid humorous but costly faux pas such as the following: • Coors put its beer slogan "Turn it loose" into Spanish where it came out "Suffer from diarrhea"! • Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick" curling iron to Germany only to discover that "mist" is slang for manure! • Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called "Cue" which is not only the title of a porn magazine but also a word that is pronounced in French the same as " cul " meaning that part of our anatomy we sit on! • An American T -Shirt manufacturer printed some shirts to commemorate the Pope's visit to Miami. But instead of saying "I saw the Pope" (el Papa) the shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa)! There are so many of these examples that a national Chevy Nova Award (in honor of the GM's company's efforts to sell the Nova car in Latin America) has been established.

  • Academic Honor Societies
    Honor Societies Founded in Philadelphia by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University is one of just 153 schools nationwide with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business school accreditation. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization in the United States. Each school is required to present evidence that its educational program and academic environment "effectively quicken the mind and spirit of its students and faculty by encouraging the full development of their human capacities. Phi Beta Kappa requires that its member institutions give primary emphasis to curricula liberal in character and purpose and that courses distinguished by these qualities shall constitute the principal requirements for the bachelor's degree." AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is the premier accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting throughout the world. AACSB International is devoted to the promotion and improvement of higher education in business administration and management. Alpha Sigma Lambda is the academic honor society for College of Professional & Liberal Arts students. This national honor society was founded in 1945 at Northwestern University. Saint Joseph's University is also a member of the Alpha Epsilon Lambda honor society, the nation's only graduate interdisciplinary honor society. The society was founded for the purpose of recognizing the academic and leadership accomplishments of graduate and professional students. To become members, students must have a GPA of 3.85 or better and demonstrate capacity for leadership performance in the classroom and community.

  • Chapters of Phi Sigma Iota by States, As of October 2001
    The of Phi Sigma Iota Forum International Foreign Language Honor Society Fall 2001 Year 23. No. 2 The Forum, Fall 2001 • 1 The President’s Page For the past several years we have heard and read of our “post-modern” world, but suddenly we are being forced to re-tool for a “post 9-11” world—a world more dangerous and challenging than anyone could have predicted just a short time ago. This new era is especially challenging for those of us who work in various aspects of inter-cultural education. During the last quarter of the 20th century, the world moved hesitantly toward increased tolerance and acceptance of cultural and religious diversity. However, we now see that fear can generate a backlash of distrust and hatred. Our task in academia has become more difficult and more urgent. We must be steadfast in spreading the message that language and cultural signals are keys to eventual human understanding, mutual respect and tolerance of differing worldviews. C. Eugene Scruggs, 1997 Over the last two centuries America has developed core values, but these are not reflected in our “pop” culture, and are not symbolized by Golden Arches, Mickey Mouse, chewing gum, Nikes, Coke, or Rap music. There are cultures with little or no appreciation for Hollywood images, slick music videos, or fast, plastic-wrapped foods. For these, our icons of “pop culture” may be potentially threatening. Rather than the superficial aspects of our culture—violent Rap music, Madonna-like vulgarity, “virtual” Worlds of Disney, perhaps we should stress our positive strengths more purposefully.

  • Chapters of Phi Sigma Iota by States, As of April 2002
    The of Phi Sigma Iota Forum International Foreign Language Honor Society Spring 2002 Year 24. No.1 The Forum, Spring 2002 • 1 The President’s Page It is a tradition to celebrate Phi Sigma Iota chapters with significant anniversaries. Attention is called to first-year anniversaries and to the completion of each decade thereafter. It is our pleasure in this spring issue of the Forum to celebrate the eightieth anniversary of two PSI chapters: Alpha at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania and Beta Beta chapter at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, Missouri. Only one other chapter has existed longer (Alpha Alpha at the University of Denver, dating from 1917). A HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE TWO CHAPTERS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL OFFICE. A list of other chapters celebrating decades of service can be found at the end of the Forum. * * * * As The Forum is being readied for printing, we are on the verge of April Fools Day. I suppose most college-age students are too sophisticated to pay much attention to this traditional holiday. However, this is not the case for me. April Fools Day is an important date for me because it coincides with my wife’s birthday. (No fooling! She is an April Fools girl, so I can’t let the date slip by C. Eugene Scruggs, 1997 unnoticed!) I recently did a little research on the origins of All Fools Day. Seems it’s been observed in one form or another for quite some time in many regions of the world. The tradition in Western Europe appears to have begun in France in the 15th century.
