Start a Mortar Board chapter on your campus
 A Mortar Board chapter can be a great addition to your campus,
bringing together students that exemplify the ideals of scholarship,
leadership and service as an active, valuable organization.
Benefits of having a Mortar Board chapter on your campus:
- Students have the opportunity to let their leadership skills
shine, as Mortar Board is entirely governed by the collegiate
members
- Mortar Board promotes lifelong service and encourages chapters
to participate in numerous projects to better their communities
throughout the year
- This one-of-a-kind honor society gives first-rate students
the opportunity to join and make a difference on your campus
- Mortar Board is known as an active organization that celebrates
scholarship, leadership and service – members can be
associated with these qualities by future employers and graduate
schools
- Mortar Board is committed to the success of individual students,
giving them numerous opportunities to participate nationally
as well as providing fellowship opportunities for post-graduate
education
Requirements:
- The institution is baccalaureate degree-granting, and is accredited by its regional accreditation association.
- There must be support of the administration. Essential components for successful chapters are least two advisors and an administrative liaison (may be faculty, staff, administrators) to work with the chapter. The institution must be able to demonstrate how the programming will be responsive to needs.
- The local organization shall be organized as, and function as, an honor society, rather than an honorary. The difference is that while an honorary exists solely for the purpose of honoring its members, an honor society, although composed of members who have already distinguished themselves and been recognized for such, continues to make significant contributions to college and community life. Belonging to an honor society carries a commitment of individual and group participation.
