Ten student members are planning to compete in state competition in Charlotte next October and in regional competition in Atlanta next November. Depending on resources etc., they may also compete in the national competition in New York next spring. Remember, your donations to the political science fund can be utilized to support student participation in such events. The UNCP Theta Rho Chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha held its annual installation of new members at the De Lafayette Restaurant in Fayetteville on Saturday, March 20th. Pi Sigma Alpha is the national political science honor society.
Membership is based on academic excellence.
At the national and the local level, Pi Sigma Alpha promotes scholarship, intelligent interest, and programs designed to benefit the public service profession and the teaching of political science. North Carolina General Assembly Representative Ronnie Sutton was the guest speaker for the event. Faculty advisor for the Theta Rho Chapter is Dr. Michael Hawthorne. Students and faculty enjoyed an outstanding dinner and talk with Representative Sutton. Henceforth, all Pi Sigma Alpha members will become student members.
