Eligibility Requirements

On campuses with an active chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, all freshman who have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the end of any full-time curricular period are automatically eligible for membership, provided they have carried a normal academic load acceptable toward a bachelor's degree and rank in the upper 20 percent of their class.

Life-time membership is conferred upon induction, and maintaining the grade point average is not required. Although students will prefer to be inducted with their classmates, eligibility is not lost by missing an induction; one may be inducted at a future regularly scheduled induction ceremony.
