Student Honor Societies

Honorary organizations on campus give special recognition to students who have achieved outstanding academic success.

Some honor societies recognize scholarship in specific curricula, while other student honor societies recognize scholarship at various stages of the student's development.

Some honor societies reward those who have excelled in several areas. Mortar Board and Omicron Delta Kappa are made up of members selected because of their academic superiority as well as the leadership they have demonstrated on campus or in the community. Iron Key is composed of members who have demonstrated leadership superiority.

Many honor societies in the categories listed above are tailored to reinforce superior students in different areas of expertise. Additional information about these organizations may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Students. For details about honor societies in a special academic area, consult the office of the school/college of that discipline.
