Honorary Societies at CSU
One means of recognizing outstanding students at Colorado State University is through election to membership in a chapter of a local, national, or international honorary society. Criteria for membership and the scope of activities vary widely. Some societies focus primarily on scholastic achievement; others consider grades along with other factors, such as community service and leadership. Some select members by invitation only; for others, students must submit applications.
