Becoming a Member

Students in the fourth, fifth, or sixth grades are eligible for membership. For the scholarship criterion, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale. Those students who meet this criterion are invited to complete a candidate’s form that provides the faculty council with evidence of the candidate’s responsibility at home, at school, and in the community.

In addition, to evaluate a candidate’s level of responsibility, the faculty council uses two types of information: school administrative records and faculty input regarding their professional reflections on a candidate’s personal responsibility qualities. These forms and the candidate’s forms are carefully reviewed by the faculty council to determine membership.

Once inducted, new members are required to maintain the same level of performance (or better) in all the criteria that led to their selection. This obligation includes regular attendance at chapter meetings held monthly during the school year, and participation in other chapter service projects and activities.
