Pi Delta Phi
|
Pi Delta Phi was founded as a departmental
honor society at the University of California, Berkeley, in
1906. After twenty years as a local chapter, Pi Delta Phi
declared itself the National French Honor Society and chartered
the Beta Chapter at the University of Southern California in
1925, and the Gamma Chapter at the University of California,
Los Angeles, in 1926.
The society expanded slowly during the next fifteen years, but enjoyed renewed interest and growth during the 1940s and 1950s. At the present time, it numbers more than 330 chapters established at representative public and private colleges and universities in almost every state, as well as chapters in Paris and Aix-en-Provence. The society was admitted to membership in the Association of College Honor Societies in 1967. Pi Delta Phi awarded ETSU the Theta Theta Chapter, its two hundredth chapter overall, in 1975. For more information on Pi Delta Phi, visit the national Pi Delta Phi website. You can visit the site for our local chapter here. The ETSU faculty advisor for Pi Delta Phi is Dr. Karen Harrington. |
