DuBOIS, Pa. - The Delta Mu Sigma Honor Society at Penn State DuBois inducted its new members for the spring 2013 semester at the society's induction luncheon Feb. 11. The new inductees join the ranks of nearly 150 honor society members on campus.
In order to qualify for membership, students must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher and be involved in campus or community service.
Chancellor Melanie Hatch addressed the new inductees, congratulating them. She said, "Today, we recognize that you have exceeded our expectations. Many of you have other responsibilities outside of school. You have families, jobs, athletics or charitable work, yet you have been able to manage these demands while remaining focused on your educational goals."
"We would like to congratulate you for achieving your academic success and being inducted into one of the most prestigious and oldest of honors societies at Penn State University," Delta Mu Sigma Board Chairman Adam Snyder told his fellow students. "We are not just an honors society, we are also a community service organization, which helps many people around our campus and community. It is our hope that you will become involved with our various campus events."
Delta Mu Sigma reaches out to DuBois and the surrounding area by offering community service such as a Dine Out event at Luigi's Restaurant, with part of the proceeds benefiting scholarship funds. Members have volunteered with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, and organize a haunted house on campus each Halloween with proceeds going to local charities.
