The Council of Honor Societies

at

North Georgia College & State University

Dahlonega, Georgia

The Council of Honor Societies is the coordinating council for 21 honor societies at North Georgia College & State University.  It was founded on February 14, 1995, when the presidents of six honor-society chapters--Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Alpha Theta, Pi Gamma Mu, Pi Sigma Alpha, Psi Chi, and the Rho Tau honors division--signed the original constitution of the council.  The Council of Honor Societies is a confederation whose sole purpose is to support the efforts of the officers of NGCSU's honor societies.

What services does the Council of Honor Societies provide to affiliated honor societies?

» The council coordinates the annual Honor Societies' Initiation Banquet on Honors Day in April.  (Some photographs of the 2000 banquet can be viewed at Pi Gamma Mu's banquet photo site.)

» The council coordinates the involvement of honor societies in the annual Honors Day Research Conference.  Most honor societies sponsor panels or roundtable discussions at the conference.

» The council offers the use of its checking account to those honor-society chapters that would like to deposit their funds in the council's account rather than maintain their own separate checking accounts.

» The council ensures that other constituents of the university can locate the honor societies and make various benefits available to the chapters.
