Steps to Membership:

Students who are eligible to join must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and have completed 9 hours of college-level coursework. There are four steps members must complete in order to be an Inducted Member of the Society. While many pending members complete the four steps within one semester, there is no time limit for completing them to obtain full membership.

Step 1: Orientation

Attend an informational meeting at the beginning of the membership semester that details the rights and responsibilities of membership.

Step 2: Leadership Training

Attend a session that explores challenges, recognizes strengths, identifies passions, and helps you set a personal plan to initiate the change needed to move forward as a leader.

Step 3: Speaker Broadcast Sessions

Attend three speaker broadcasts (live streaming or rebroadcasts) with nationally known speakers.

Step 4: Success Networking Teams (SNTs)

Team members learn to work within a team framework, provide peer coaching, set and achieve goals along specific timelines, and hold themselves and others accountable for results. Attend an SNT Orientation and at least three SNT meetings in a row to meet this requirement.
