Honor Societies

Excellence gets noticed here.

Mount Mary College supports the chapters of several honor societies that recognize and promote academic achievement.

Delta Epsilon Sigma: A national scholastic honor society for colleges and universities in the Catholic tradition. To be eligible, undergraduates must complete at least 50 percent of their credit requirements at a level that leads to cum laude (3.6 GPA) graduation. Graduate students must have completed one-half of their programs with above average performance, continuing toward the graduate degree.

Kappa Gamma Pi: A national Catholic college honor society. Candidates for membership must have completed four semesters of college or the equivalent, and they must have attained a grade point average sufficient for graduation with honors (3.6). Membership becomes effective upon graduation.

Students may also qualify for election to a professional society while in college. While each society has its own criteria, general requirements are high scholarship, demonstrated interest in the field and satisfactory completion of minimal course work. Our honor societies include
