Opposed to bigotry, narrowness, and discrimination on any basis other than that of academic achievement or character. ELIGIBILITY: Active membership is restricted to the top ten percent of juniors, seniors, and graduate students. The faculty may set higher standards. High scholarship is the primary requisite for membership, but good character and reputation are considerations. Although membership is for life, alumni may maintain active status by paying an annual fee. MAJOR ACTIVITIES: The Constitution calls for regular chapter meetings promoting and recognizing scholarly achievement. Visiting speakers are presented; student papers are read; faculty-led discussions are held. Free tutoring is done by some chapters; some recognize achievement by granting scholarships. At regional and national meetings, student members take part in presenting papers, musical and entertainment features, panel discussions, and in voting on policies and actions.
