Keeping Traditions Alive While Creating New Initiatives F
ormer National President, C.M. Thompson, once said “The past belongs to others; the present is ours; combined, they shape the future. Let us resolve, then, to pay homage to the past by setting high standards for the future.” This is exactly the mission that Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society is carrying with us in 2022 as we move toward our centennial celebration that will kick off later this year at our convention in October. Under the leadership of our executive committee, the national office is working to provide our members with new experiences and innovative opportunities. These initiatives like our Member of Distinction program and the 5K for $10K Run for Reading are new to the Phi Eta Sigma experience, but they are also grounded in our mission and values that have existed for almost 100 years. Through our programs at the national and local level, students will be able carry the lessons learned and skills gained with them throughout their college experience and beyond.

This is set to be a landmark year for Phi Eta Sigma as we kick-off our centennial celebration in October at our convention. The theme for the convention is Facing the Future Together, and I think it is a perfect way to both celebrate our first 100 years together while also looking to our shared future. I hope all of our chapters will be able to attend this milestone event! Knowledge is Power! Mary Lee Caldwell, Ph.D. Executive Director

First 5K for $10K Raises $12K for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Phi Eta Sigma’s expanding national programming began with the inaugural 5K for $10K, a virtual race among all Phi Eta Sigma chapters, members and other supporters raising money for our national philanthropic mission of literacy. In 2021, the beneficiary was Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, an organization that sends over 1,000,000 children’s books per month to children all over the Karenna Fife world.
Top Fundraisers Texas A&M Katrina Krause Moravian College Ethan Douglass Indiana
With the help of 223 runners representing 40 chapters from 30 different states and the District of Columbia, Phi Eta Sigma beat its goal of $10,000 by raising $12,491. Since $100 provides four children with a book per month for an entire year, Phi Eta Sigma’s efforts brought a book per month to almost 125 children. Fundraising efforts started in the weeks prior to
the run, which was open from Oct. 14 through Oct. 28. Some chapters, such as the Catholic University of America, brought members of their chapter together to walk or run the 5 kilometers. Jenna Prunty of the Florida State chapter completed her 5K in an impressive 22 minutes and 54 seconds. Texas A&M chapter president Karenna Fife

led all fundraisers with $515, followed closely by Katrina Krause of Moravian College at $500. Ethan Douglass of Indiana ($463.50), Rayan Melo of St. John’s ($350), Tiana Harris of John Jay College ($320), and Brianna Reagan of IUPUI ($300) all raised at least $300. In addition to those previously mentioned, Elizabeth Dennis (Pittsburg State), Sarah Windelborn (Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Jessie Brown (Indiana) earned Phi Eta Sigma graduation regalia as a prize for raising at least $250. The 5K also offered members two opportunities to

earn points toward Member of Distinction status, one for raising at least $100 through the 5K and another for completing the walk or run. Thirty-five people earned a point for raising $100 and 46 earned a point for completing the 5K, with 15 members completing both the 5K and $100 raised to get themselves halfway to Member of Distinction status before the end of October. The event will return next year after the conclusion of the 2022 National Convention in Birmingham, Alabama.

Phi Eta Sigma Launches New Program
Member of Distinction Program Honors Values of Society In 2021, Phi Eta Sigma launched a new national Member of Distinction program, offering students an opportunity for personal development while building on their connections within the honor society through this new national program. Students who earn Member of Distinction status will receive a commendation, exclusive graduation regalia, and special recognition and programming opportunities at national and regional events. The inaugural class of Members of Distinction will be inducted at the 2022 National Convention in Birmingham, Alabama, in October. To earn Member of Distinction status a student needs to complete four credits at the national and local levels. The programming for Member of Distinction credits is designed to reflect Phi Eta Sigma’s core values of excellence in mind, health, and character.
Six qualifying events in the 2021-2022 academic year •
Walk or run the Phi Eta Sigma 5K for $10K, benefitting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

Students may also substitute an applicable local chapter activity to count for one of their four credits. The first Member of Distinction credit opportunities coincided with the Phi Eta Sigma 5K for $10K Run for Reading which was held in October. Forty-six students, representing more than 20 chapters, earned a credit for completing the 5 kilometer run. While collectively raising more than $12,500 for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, 35 Phi Eta Sigma members earned an additional Member of Distinction credit for raising at least $100. Once a student completes four credits, they can complete their application for the Member of Distinction status, by visiting the program’s page on www.phietasigma.org

University of New Mexico The University of New Mexico (UNM) Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma has been very busy during the Fall 2021 semester. The chapter helped beautify the campus by participating in Fall Frenzy, UNM’s annual campus clean-up event. Through Fall Frenzy, hundreds of undergraduate students come together to serve and better the UNM community. Our members enjoyed their time in service to UNM by planting trees and flowers with their fellow Lobos. Up next for UNM Phi Eta Sigma is our canned food drive for Lobo Food Pantry, UNM’s on-campus food pantry. Lobo Food Pantry is an incredible resource that is available to all UNM students with no questions asked, once a day every day. We will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items for two days, after which all collected items will be given to Lobo Food Pantry. Finally, UNM Phi Eta Sigma will continue our chapter’s long-held tradition of participating in the University of New Mexico’s oldest tradition, Hanging of the Greens, which dates back to the 1930s. Each year on the first Friday of December, UNM students, staff, and alumni light up campus with over 14,000 luminarias to kick off the holiday season. Chapter members will fold bags, fill them with sand, set them up around campus, and light them, as part of UNM Phi Eta Sigma’s contribution to the beloved annual event.
The chapter is excited for the Spring semester and looks forward to the continuation of our service to UNM and its students.

Our community service project for the 2021-22 academic year is collection of worn out, tattered old American flags which will be disposed of properly at local American Legion and VFW Posts. On October 16, our members participated in our first flag disposal ceremony at the VFW Post 7692 in Freedom, WI. There were over 500 flags collected and disposed of properly. We are planning to partake in another flag disposal ceremony in spring. We like to have an activity at our chapter meetings. This semester one activity is folding flags for The Pocket Flag Project [https://www.pocketflagproject.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis After a year of virtual engagement, the IUPUI chapter focused on making connections to start the year. We helped with Move Crew to assist first-year students in moving into campus housing, and we did lots of tabling during the first week of classes at the first-year residence hall, Honors College open house, and the Student Involvement Expo. After a year of meeting on Zoom, we were happy to return to meeting in person in the fall! Our monthly meetings have included speakers who talked about topics such as getting involved on campus, staying motivated to prepare for future success, and preparing a winning application for the annual Top 100 Students competition. We engaged in service by making no-sew blankets for a local homeless shelter, assisting Indy Parks with cleaning up a local park, delivering coffee and donuts to our campus police and a nearby fire station, helping out at a local food pantry, and volunteering at the Indy Half Marathon. We also had many members participate in the national 5K for $10K for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. We were actively involved in the annual IUPUI Regatta on the downtown canal again this year to raise money for student scholarships. This included having 3 teams rowing in the Regatta, competing in the Battleships event at the Natatorium to raise money for our dance marathon, and serving up popcorn at the Honors College tent. We also had a Pumpkins ‘n Snacks social event in October where members showed off their pumpkin painting and carving skills. Finally, we were thrilled to have five national scholarship winners with award amounts ranging from $1000 to $7000. Congratulations to Anna Martin, Unnati Nayak, Kaitlyn Powell, Faith Prochaska, and Nicole Scheive. We always like to see our officers rewarded for their hard work and dedication!

In addition to the above we participated in Make a Difference Day at UWGB. We will be participating in the Green Bay Holiday Parade, a winter/spring fundraiser, making toys for the animals at the Green Bay Humane Society, the Adopt-AHighway Program, and preparing for a spring induction ceremony. All in all, this has been a wonderful semester giving back to our community.
Purdue University Despite the challenges that Covid-19 brought during the 2020-21 school year, Purdue University’s joint chapter of Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Eta Sigma worked hard to have a great year, including a record-setting spring induction class of 954 new members! Our officer group met in person every other week to plan events and programs. With the help of Zoom, we offered speakers on resume writing, stress relief at finals and holiday time, and scholarships—both local and national. We also were able to be creative with our service projects and purchased gifts for two children whose names were on the Season of Sharing Tree that our campus sponsored during the holidays. Later in the spring, we were able to have an all-member in person meeting where we took old t-shirts and made braided dog toys, cat hammocks for a local shelter, and bags for the campus food pantry. Our chapter president, Jenna Swihart, thought it would be nice to end our year with a project aimed to show appreciation to all of the staff giving Covid vaccines to students and staff on campus, so we purchased lots of snacks, water, candy, and granola bars and filled 150 Thank you bags. We took them to the workers and surprised them with this act of appreciation, and they were very touched! The fall 2021 semester has started with a bang! Our new officer group of nineteen have been very busy with an all member meeting on the topic of resume writing, a decorated golf cart in our Homecoming Parade (we won the contest for the best cart!), and distributing “caught studying” bags of candy during the first round of exams.
The officers also volunteered at our local Hunger Hike and a program called Winterization, a campus sponsored event that helps the elderly get their yards ready for the winter. At our next all-member meeting, we are filling shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, and then we will have a fun study break/service project during the week before finals.

University of Texas - Austin It’s no surprise that the pandemic has continued to impact many universities, including The University of Texas at Austin, in 2021. Although our chapter programming remained primarily virtual, members connected through regular chapter meetings, social and service events, GroupMe, and strong social media campaigns. In the spring, officers created a Linktree on our social media pages, increased frequency of Instagram posts, and encouraged involvement through memberof-the-month recognition and “officer spotlight” social media posts. Other spring events included a trivia night, banquet, comedy performance, Valentine’s movie night, “rant” hour, paper airplane-making video for hospitalized children, hygiene kit-making, blood drive donations, and virtual service opportunities benefitting seniors or those with disabilities. In late spring, officers introduced a few in-person, outdoor events such as profit shares, and raised over $200 from fundraising and merchandise sales for the semester. Over the summer, our chapter hosted eight virtual info sessions, which 244 new students attended. In the fall, we tabled at Longhorn Welcome and Party on the Plaza, two campus-wide new student events highlighting student organizations. Our chapter offered a t-shirt giveaway for the participant who guessed the closest number of honor society pins filling a large jar. In addition to two members winning national scholarships, we hosted a scholarship info session and workshop to encourage more students to apply.

Augusta University
The Office of First and Second Year Experiences at Augusta University is pleased to announce the induction of 54 students into the Phi Eta Sigma National Freshman Honor Society. The Augusta University chapter was established in 2017. However, we took a two year hiatus due the Pandemic. This fall, we retroactively celebrated our students’ academic achievement during their first year of college, encouraging them to maintain academic excellence throughout their college career. During the induction, we discussed the Society’s three core values, explained the meaning
behind our official crest, and finally conferred the membership of Phi Eta Sigma, with the Key and Certificate. Families and friends of the inductees joined in the fun, making this event even more meaningful! As an added value to membership, students were invited to participate in our first ever Phi Eta Sigma book club this spring. We will be reading the Defining Decade, by Dr. Meg Jay and discussing our next steps after college! The book club is one way for students to keep in touch and develop leadership skills, too. This was advertised to students on the back of the Program.

Florida State University Over the past year, the Florida State University Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma placed an emphasis on community involvement and the outreach and recruitment of new members to join our chapter. This academic school year, we have hosted four different Leadership Councils (LC) to promote member involvement including Service, Outreach, Recruitment, and our new Health and Wellness LC. We enjoyed planning and hosting events such as our “Fall into Fall” event to recruit new members with donuts, coffee, and a photo booth, our weekend Adopt-a-Road cleanups, Phi Eta Sigma information sessions, our Health and Wellness walk/run social at the Mike Long Track, as well as helping to clean up Doak Campbell Stadium with “Garnet and Gold Goes Green”. Some of our chapter’s favorite memories so far this year were when our Executive
Board and LC’s walked in FSU’s annual homecoming parade, as well as when our chapter got recognized as the top fundraiser for the Phi Eta Sigma Running for Reading Virtual 5k! We look forward to
another amazing semester of getting involved within our community and spreading the word about the FSU Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma.
University of Alabama The University of Alabama chapter of Phi Eta Sigma has been working hard to create a community for its members after a year of virtual learning.

To promote literacy on their campus and in the community, they held a book drive and delivered the donations to local schools in Tuscaloosa. As students are approaching the end of the semester and final exams, they held a bonfire and pizza social on the quad to serve as a study break for their members.

The Catholic University of America chapter of Phi Eta Sigma sprinted into action this semester! One month into the semester, we held our annual induction ceremony in person. Our chapter staff diligently encouraged 136 qualifying candidates to accept their membership. On October 1st, we inducted 124 candidates into Phi Eta Sigma, at one of the highest acceptance percentages Catholic University has seen. We also invited families in person, which was especially touching in light of the virtual ceremony last year. We sent a Zoom link to those who couldn’t join on campus; however, many chose to come in person. As families and friends offered a wonderful show of support, the night concluded with a lovely reception. Promptly after induction, our staff set to work on our fall service activity.
To support the national Phi Eta Sigma fundraiser, our Catholic University chapter decided not only to advertise for the national 5K, but also to host our own campus 5K! At least 14 people signed up for the national 5K, raising $475. On October 17th, 20-30 people participated in our in-person 5K: some walked, others ran, and many volunteered to help. Given the crisp Sunday morning, people were happy to run or walk our on-campus course. All the newly inducted officers enjoyed preparing for and running the event, and some former officers came to help. One former officer ran and won the race! As additional incentive, we raffled off Catholic University swag to students who supported the 5K, and we plan to use Phi Eta Sigma swag at future events.

University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg - Pennsylvania The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg looked to overcome obstacles created by the continuing pandemic this past year. In the spring, we worked within the restrictions and were still able to hold a couple of events throughout the semester. In February, we sponsored outdoor snow tubing, in which many students participated and enjoyed. That month we also made Valentine’s Day cards for a local senior citizens home - even though we couldn’t deliver them in person, the residents enjoyed receiving them. We also held a virtual induction ceremony for our new members, with a webinar that inductees and their families could attend from all over the world . New members were still individually recognized during this ceremony utilizing pictures in a slide show. We looked to return to normal activities in the fall and, with restrictions eased a bit on campus, were able to hold many of our annual events. In September, we were able to hold our annual creak cleanup, with a great turn-out of students eager to help make a difference on campus. In October, we were able to hold one of our campus’ favorite events, Oktoberfest. This year Oktoberfest included kegged rootbeer, German food, pumpkin painting, hammerschlagen, giant jenga, make-your-own ice cream, and ax throwing, with other clubs on campus collaborating to make it a wonderful event. In November, we were able to return to sponsoring our annual Veterans Day Luncheon, a tradition for veterans and their families to enjoy a free lunch on our campus. We also held a sock drive to donate to the VA hospital in Pittsburgh, PA to show our gratitude for those who served our country.

Scholar-Leader of the Year Award
Dean Clark, dean of men at the University of Illinois and Senator of Phi Beta Kappa, was one of the three founders of Phi Eta Sigma and our first National President, serving from 1927 to 1933.
2021-2022 Scholar-Leader Emily Bruinsma
Emily Bruinsma is the sixteenth recipient of the Thomas Arkle Clark Graduate Scholar-Leader of the Year Award. Emily was inducted to the Missouri State University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma in March 2018. She graduated from MSU with her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Gerontology, minoring in Biomedical Sciences and Diversity Studies in May 2021. She is currently enrolled in the Doctoral program in Occupational Therapy at the University of South Dakota, located in Vermillion, South Dakota.
As an undergraduate student, Emily was named to the Dean’s List every semester and was a graduate from the Honors College. She served her chapter of Phi Eta Sigma in numerous leadership capacities over three years. In 2018, she was in charge of facilitating the induction of new members as the chapter’s induction chair. In 2019 and 2020, she served as the chapter’s secretary and attended the National Convention as a representative from Missouri State. She then served as the Chapter’s President through April 2021. Emily was involved in many philanthropic projects with the chapter during this time, including volunteering with local programs like Adopt a Child, collecting donations to deliver to a local food pantry, and participating in a street cleanup event. Emily was involved in several other campus organizations. She served as secretary for the preoccupational therapy club and as social media coordinator for the gerontology club. Emily was also a member of the Health Professions Scholars Program all four years of undergrad, which helps students prepare for future careers as healthcare professionals. She enjoyed doing volunteer work with Sharing with Elders, which helps fundraise to buy gifts for local nursing home residents and as an activities volunteer at a Senior Living Facility where she planned and led game nights with the residents.

limit. You are the judge of when it is time to limit acts.” Upon graduating, she plans to enroll in a dual degree program to obtain her JD (Juris Doctorate) and MPH (Master of Public Health).
