AN INVITATION TO ALL STUDENTS OF PHILOSOPHY TO JOIN PHI SIGMA TAU The Philosophy Program is now accepting applications for membership in Phi Sigma Tau (ΦΣΤ), the National Honor Society in Philosophy. The local chapter is the "Texas Gamma Chapter" of Phi Sigma Tau, and it was chartered in 1979 in recognition of the quality of the philosophy program at Sam Houston State University. Membership in Phi Sigma Tau is granted to students in recognition of their scholarship and achievement in the study of philosophy. To qualify for membership, you must: 1) have completed nine hours of philosophy by the end of the current semester; 2) have maintained a GPA of at least 3.0 in all philosophy courses; 3) have achieved a GPA of at least 3.0 in 80% of your total semester credit hours. Your GPA should be based upon grades received for work at SHSU together with any grades transferred from any other institutions. The cost of membership is $25.00, a one-time fee which is paid to the National Office of Phi Sigma Tau. All members receive a subscription to Dialogue, the journal of Phi Sigma Tau, for the duration of their undergraduate study. The cost of the subscription is included in the one-time membership fee. Membership in Phi Sigma Tau will be a mark of your achievement in the study of philosophy and your dedication to the ideals of philosophical inquiry. We hope that you will accept this invitation to membership by completing the attached form and returning it, along with the membership fee, to Dr. Maria Botero (CHSS 348). Please make your check for $25.00 Phi Sigma Tau. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHI SIGMA TAU APPLICATION FORM Name _________________________________Student I.D.
