Organization Information
Located in Region X of the national Phi Eta Sigma listings, The University of Florida Chapter for Phi Eta Sigma is the state's oldest, founded on January 11, 1930. The chapter has active members numbering in the hundreds and welcomes many new members annually. Phi Eta Sigma is an organization that recognizes students' strong academic performance and focuses on service to the community, along with social activities for organization members.
The following is a brief description of the organization as written by the official website, www.phietasigma.org:
Phi Eta Sigma is a national honor society inspired by the past and dedicated to the future whose goal is to encourage and reward academic excellence among freshmen in institutions of higher learning. The oldest and largest freshman honor society, Phi Eta Sigma was founded at the University of Illinois on March 22, 1923, and now has more than three hundred 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 freshman scholars from all academic disciplines on their campuses and to join them in promoting academic excellence. Members may apply for scholarships available from national and from local chapters.
Membership in Phi Eta Sigma identifies its members to employers, professional and graduate schools as persons of superior academic ability and performance.
