# Phi Eta Sigma

Phi Eta Sigma (ΦΗΣ) is an American freshman honor society. Founded at the University of Illinois on March 22, 1923, it is the oldest and largest freshman honor society and has chartered 386 chapters throughout the United States and inducted more than 1,250,000 members since its founding.

## History

Phi Eta Sigma was founded by Thomas Arkle Clark at the University of Illinois on March 22, 1923. Clark was a professor and dean of the university. Phi Eta Sigma was established as a freshmen honor society for male freshmen.
The society joined the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) on February 27, 1937. It left ACHS in 2011 but was rejoined in 2018.
Phi Eta Sigma has chartered 386 chapters throughout the United States and inducted more than 1,250,000 members since its founding. It is the oldest and largest freshman honor society.

## Symbols

Phi Eta Sigma's motto is Φρόνις ἐστί δύναμις, translated as "Knowledge is Power". Its colors are gold and black.

## Membership

Any first-year student with a GPA of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or rank in the top 20% in his or her class, at the end of a full curricular period is eligible for membership, provided that the student has taken normal academic coursework. Once inducted, membership is conferred for life, and members are not required to maintain a 3.5 GPA. At certain universities, including Emory University, the minimum GPA is a 3.9 on a 4.0 scale.

## Activities
### Scholarships

Annually, Phi Eta Sigma provides $300,000 total in scholarships to members across the country. There are $1,000 awards and $5,000 scholarships for undergraduate study, as well as $7,000 scholarships for the first year of graduate study. Members of Phi Eta Sigma must apply to receive these awards.
Phi Eta Sigma also awards the Thomas Arkle Clark Graduate Scholar Leader of the Year Endowed Scholarship, named in honor of the founder and first Grand President of Phi Eta Sigma. This scholarship is a $10,000 award presented yearly to the member whom the Scholarship Committee determines to best exemplify the ideals of Phi Eta Sigma. In 2020, the first ever $10,000 James E. Foy - John W. Sagabiel Undergraduate Scholar Leader of the Year Award will be presented to an undergraduate student member of the society whom the Scholarship Committee determines to best exemplify the ideals of Phi Eta Sigma.

### Publications

Phi Eta Sigma has two publications which it distributes to its members each year. The Forum is a magazine published each year containing updates on Phi Eta Sigma's activity, as well as announcements and biographies of scholarship recipients. Hints on Studying and Learning is a popular pamphlet distributed by Phi Eta Sigma to its members. It addresses effective study habits such as preparation for studying; productive reading, note taking, and memorizing skills; as well as suggestions for the successful preparation of term papers and preparing for exams.

### National convention

Phi Eta Sigma organizes a biennial convention for its members, advisers, and special guests. Attendee expenses, excluding transportation, are paid for by the national office for a chapter adviser and a student delegate from each chapter.

## Governance

Phi Eta Sigma's executive officers are elected at the biennial conventions. The positions include national officers and executive committee advisers and students. They oversee the business of the society, and the national office staff manages general operations.
Its headquarters are located at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
