  • Phi Sigma Tau Informational Document.Wpd
    Phi Sigma Tau was founded at Muhlenberg College in 1930 as Alpha Kappa Alpha, with chapters at colleges in Maryland and Pennsylvania. It remained in this regional status until October of 1955, when it was incorporated as Phi Sigma Tau, a National Honor Society in Philosophy. Its essential purpose was and is to promote ties among philosophy departments in accredited institutions and students in philosophy nationally. Both on the local and national levels, Phi Sigma Tau considers its organization as instrumental: a means for developing and honoring academic excellence as well as philosophical interest. In addition to providing a means of awarding distinction to students having high scholarship and interest in philosophy, the Society also promotes interest in philosophy among the general collegiate public. Growth In 1955, Phi Sigma Tau included twelve chapters in Ohio, Tennessee, Maryland, Washington, D.C., New Mexico, California, and Louisiana. By 1958 ten additional chapters had been added, including those which had formerly constituted Alpha Kappa Alpha; and the date of the latter’s founding was taken as Phi Sigma Tau’s founding date. In 1958 the Society was admitted to full membership in the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), and by 1969 its chapter network included 55 chapters in 32 states. The Society became international in 1991 with the installation of its first Canadian chapter; and, as of September, 2005, its chapter network includes over 200 chapters. The chapter here at Fairfield University was established in 1973 and it is currently the only chapter in Connecticut. Government The National Officers consist of President, Vice-President, and Executive Secretary.

  • 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.
