Presentation College’s Pi Gamma Mu chapter has inducted its ONE HUNDREDTH member! 

The South Dakota Zeta Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu is in its eleventh year and has now inducted one hundred students and faculty.  Pi Gamma Mu is the oldest and preeminent interdisciplinary social science honor society. The mission of Pi Gamma Mu is to encourage and promote excellence in the Social Sciences and to uphold and nurture scholarship, leadership, and service. New inductees include psychology students Natalie Flores and Brooke Lind and psychology program director Tina Klein.

To qualify for membership, a student must have a “B” or better average in at least twenty semester hours of social science classes.  Over the years, the Presentation College chapter has inducted lifetime members from almost every program.  Two Presentation College alumni received Pi Gamma Mu scholarships for graduate studies, and since Pi Gamma Mu is certified by the Association of College Honor Societies, members could also qualify for a two-level starting pay grade increase if employed by the federal government.  At least one PC graduate received this benefit.

Dr. Brad Tennant is the faculty sponsor for the Presentation College chapter and serves as the North/Northwest Regional Chancellor on the Pi Gamma Mu Board of Trustees.
