Phi Eta Sigma

Phi Eta Sigma Phi Eta Sigma is the nation’s oldest and largest honor society for first-year college and university students in all disciplines

* Founded in 1923 at the University of Illinois, Phi Eta Sigma is the nation’s oldest and largest honor society for first-year college and university students in all disciplines.
* Inspired by the past and dedicated to the future, the Society’s mission is to encourage and reward academic excellence among freshmen in institutions of higher learning.
* The three Greek words appearing on our

crest form the motto of the organization: "Knowledge is Power."
* Those elected to membership include those who have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the end of any first year, full-time curricular period, provided they have carried a normal academic load acceptable toward a bachelor’s degree and rank in the upper 20 percent of their class.
* Since its founding, more than 1,100,000 scholars have been inducted into Phi Eta Sigma.
* Phi Eta Sigma chapters are chartered on 365 campuses across the United States.
* Hundreds of college and university faculty and staff volunteers share their time to serve as advisers to local chapters.
* Approximately $285,000 in scholarships is awarded annually by the national organization, and many additional thousands are awarded by local chapters.
* An important strength of Phi Eta Sigma is its form of government. It is governed by a Constitution and Laws generated by student delegates attending national conventions. At the biennial conventions, student delegates also elect the national officers and Executive Committee members.
* Phi Eta Sigma conducts a biennial national convention with attendee expenses, excluding transportation, paid by the national office for a chapter adviser and student delegate from each chapter.

😌✨ How are you elevating this summer?

Growth doesn’t always have to be busy or loud. Sometimes, the most meaningful progress comes from slowing down, taking care of yourself, and allowing time to rest, reset, and recharge. 💛

Whether you’re recovering from a demanding semester or simply making space to breathe, remember that rest is productive too - and caring for yourself is part of preparing for what’s next.

🤝✨ How are you elevating this summer?

Volunteering is more than giving your time - it’s an opportunity to grow as a leader, make a meaningful impact, and stay connected to something bigger than yourself. Whether you’re serving your local community, supporting a cause you care about, or simply showing up to help, every act of service matters. 💛

Service doesn’t stop when the semester ends - it simply takes new forms.

🌍✨ How are you elevating this summer?

Studying abroad is more than just seeing new places - it’s about stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing new cultures, and growing through experiences that challenge and inspire you. From building independence to gaining a broader perspective of the world, the lessons learned abroad can last a lifetime. 💛

Some of the most meaningful growth happens beyond the classroom.
