National Honor Societies
Phi Kappa Phi
Chartered at Wright State in the spring of 1990, Phi Kappa Phi honors
students from all majors who graduate near the top of their classes. Membership
in Phi Kappa Phi is an honor that lasts a lifetime. Only a small percentage
of each class is invited to join. One year's dues and initiation fees
are $35. PKP also has an attractive graduate fellowship program.
Phi Theta Kappa
An honorary society for two-year colleges, Phi Theta Kappa, chartered
an alumni chapter at Wright State in 1993. Phi Theta Kappans who transfer
to Wright State to complete their baccalaureate may apply for a $1500
(one-year renewable) scholarship. The Honors Program encourages the participation
of Phi Theta Kappa members, particularly in departmental Honors. Honors
courses completed at other institutions will count toward completion of
Honors degree requirements at Wright State. Consult with the Honors advisor.
Alpha Lambda Delta
Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD), an honorary society for first-year students, has existed on campus since 1987 and is administered through
University College. Membership is by invitation only to students who earn
a 3.5 GPA or better during their first year. Approximately 100 students
join each year. Alpha Lambda Delta sometimes combines with the Student
Honors Association for activities. ALD members are eligible to apply for
eighteen to twenty $3000 graduate fellowships that are offered each year.
