Membership is open to those that meet:
GPA Requirements: 3.0 overall and 3.0 in your Social Studies classes (unweighted)
Completed at least 2 Social Studies classes
On track to complete 6 Social Studies classes by the time you graduate from Independence High School.
Must be willing and able to complete civic/community service work with Rho Kappa.
Attend at least 7 of the 9 monthly meetings after school.
Pay a one time dues fee of $15 when you are inducted. This will cover National dues and honor cords. (Paying does not mean you will receive the honor cords at graduation. Honor cords are earned through community service and maintaining the required GPA, keeping good attendance for school and Rho Kappa, and no behavior write ups.)
Rho Kappa applications are not being accepted. There will be an interest meeting in room MC379 (near the baseball field) on Monday, September 9th, 2025 at 2:20 - 3. Only Juniors and Seniors can apply. You can apply at https://bit.ly/RhoKappaIHS. All applications are due by Friday, September 19th at 3 pm. The first official meeting will be on Monday, September 22nd, 2025.
