Applying for Membership

Each fall and spring semester, just after the last day to add classes (with signatures), our chapter will receive a list from the Registrar with the names of all of the undergraduates and graduate students who meet the first 4 criteria. Those students are then sent an email message inviting them to apply to our chapter provided they meet the additional criteria. Invitations typically are sent out during the 3rd or 4th week of the semester. If you believe you meet the criteria but do not receive an invitation by the end of the fourth week of a semester, please contact chapter advisor, Dr. Sherry Serdikoff (serdiksl@jmu.edu)
