Nomination criteria is determined by local Chapter Leaders and is based on GPA and/or leadership potential. Students invited to their school's chapter have earned distinction with their nomination but must complete the leadership program requirements to become inducted.

Society members pay a one-time registration fee of $95 when applying to join the organization. The fee includes all membership benefits, partner discounts and a lifetime membership. This payment will make you a pre-inducted member. 

You come to our TAMU chapter events and meet your fellow members! We will guide you step by step through the induction process and then we will present you with your induction package and celebrate your achievement at our biannual induction ceremony. 

The steps that you need to complete to be officially inducted into the Society of Leadership are:

1. Orientation

2. Leadership Training Day

3. Three speaker broadcast events

4. Three Success Networking Team meetings

Once you have completed all of your induction steps, we award you a certificate for achievement, a society t-shirt, a society pin, and a car decal. This will be presented to you at our induction ceremony to celebrate your hard work! You can also buy an additional plaque to accentuate your certificate as well as a variety of society accessories on the national online store. Stoles can also be purchased or earned through chapter leadership involvement. 

We are all busy students and understand that flexibility differs between everyone. For that reason, we offer all of our induction steps at least twice a year. As a chapter member, you are free to complete the process over your own preferred time span but most members find they can complete all of the requirements in a semester. Be sure to view our calendar to see what event you can attend next!

Sigma Alpha Pi are the Greek letters that the NSLS uses to represent itself. Sigma Alpha Pi stands for Success, Action, and Purpose — Success coming from continual Action toward one’s Purpose — all of which are the core of the NSLS identity.
