Join Sigma Nu Tau
Why Join Sigma Nu Tau?
Other than being part of an exclusive group of scholars, being in an honor society has many benefits:
- To be recognized for academic excellence
- To build your credentials for applying to graduate school as well as for prospective job opportunities
- To build your character through the various honor society projects and community service activities
- To have opportunities to gain leadership experiences as an chapter officer or committee chair
- To be eligible and have greater credibility when applying for awards and scholarships
- To have opportunities to network with and learn from successful entrepreneurs
When you join an honor society, it’s more than being invited into a club. It’s a life changing opportunity to make new friends by getting involved, It’s a chance to build leadership skills and your character, as well as enhancing your experiences. When you think of all the opportunities that honor societies can offer to you, the real question is why not join an honor society?
