General Information
Our goal is to recognize and promote academic and service excellence among first-year students. The oldest and largest freshmen honor society, Phi Eta Sigma was founded at the University of Illinois on March 22, 1923. We now have more than 350 chapters throughout the United States and more than 1,000,000 members. Because of the increasing performance of Georgia Southern students overall, the criteria for invitation to membership increased to a 3.6 GPA for first-year students, enrolled full time beginning in Fall 2008.
Georgia Southern marked its 24th year as an active chapter on October 19, 2015.
Members who chose to be active in the Phi Eta Sigma student organization work in conjunction with FYE to promote the first-year experience on campus (such as with ) and are involved with community service activities in the Statesboro area.

In order to be considered, a student must already be inducted (those who will be inducted on February 14, 2016, will not be eligible until next academic year). The three award winners will be eligible to be forwarded to the national scholarship competition, where awards range from $1,000 to $10,000 (in order to be eligible for the national competition, applicants must be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student in Fall 2016).
The application for 2016 was due Friday, January 29, 2016, in the FYE office.
Congratulations to winners Ashley Archer, Jamaal Caleb and Candace Moon!
National Scholarships
Active Georgia Southern Phi Eta Sigma members have been very successful in the organization’s national scholarship competition over the past decade. The chapter advisor with the assistance of a committee, screens the applications to put the strongest candidates forward each year. The pool of nominees typically comes from members who apply for local scholarships. Nomination packets are typically due March 1 and often require a significant amount of revision. The number of nominees we can put forward is determined by the size of the previous year’s initiation class. Georgia Southern has nominated three students for the past several years. The winners since 2006 are:
2015: Ashleigh Rasheed ($6000)
2014: Melissa Royal ($6000); Keenya Riggins ($1000)

Article II. Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this organization shall be to recognize achievement of freshmen students and promote superior scholarship amongst all members.

Section 1. The members of Phi Eta Sigma shall be those persons who have been initiated according to the ritual as provided by the Phi Eta Sigma national guidelines.

Any person, irrespective of membership in other organizations and associations, shall be eligible to membership in Phi Eta Sigma who is a full time student at the University of Illinois, and who has a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 out of 4.0 at the close of the spring or fall semester of his or her freshman year. A student (defined as someone who takes at least twelve credit hours per semester) who enters the University of Illinois with advanced standing but no credits obtained in residence at a college or university may be initiated into Phi Eta Sigma on the same basis as any other candidate for the society. Because of his or her advanced standing a first year candidate may be unintentionally excluded from the mailing list however, any such candidate may still petition for membership by contacting the chapter advisor or president during the fall or spring membership drive following the fall or spring semester of his or her first year of attendance at the University of Illinois. It is the sole responsibility of such eligible members with advanced standing to contact the chapter advisor or president if he or she wishes to join Phi Eta Sigma. A student in his or her first year at the University of Illinois but with credit obtained in residence at another college or university is not eligible for membership.
