KINGSTON, R.I. — May 2, 2008 — The University of Rhode Island last month inducted its largest class into the national freshman honor society, Phi Eta Sigma. More than 370 freshmen were inducted into the national honor society that is the oldest and largest freshman honor society in the United States.
To be eligible to join, students must have achieved a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 at the end of their first semester.
Founded in 1923 at the University of Illinois, Phi Eta Sigma encourages and rewards academic excellence among freshmen in institutions of higher learning. The organization is an outward recognition of personal accomplishment and serves as an incentive for continued high scholarship. The honor society also provides freshmen honorees the opportunity to meet other scholars from all academic disciplines on campus and to join in the promotion of academic excellence. There are more than 350 chapters and 900,000 members in the United States.
Following is a list of URI’s 2007-2008 Phi Eta Sigma inductees (organized alphabetically within their home states):
