Alpha Chi National College Honor Society The University of the Incarnate Word has had an active chapter of the Alpha Chi National College Honor Society since the 1920s. Induction to Alpha Chi is limited to the top 10% of the junior and senior classes with a grade point average of 3.50 and above. It is the highest academic honor society at the university and is the institutional equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa at larger universities. The annual induction ceremony is in the spring semester. Students receive a membership certificate, pin, and stole to wear at graduation. Members can also apply for important scholarships and are invited to attend regional and national conferences. Membership invitations are sent out in the early spring, so keep an eye out for your invitation and be sure to reply when you receive it. Faculty co-‐sponsors are Dr. Stefanie Boswell (psychology) and Dr. Roger Barnes (sociology and criminal justice). For additional information, they can be contacted at: ssboswel@uiwtx.edu and barnes@uiwtx.edu
