Pi Sigma Alpha
National Political Science Honor Society
William and Mary is proud to host the Eta Rho Chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society. The William & Mary chapter was founded in 1976 with the purpose of stimulating interest and scholarship in political science. W & M Pi Sigma Alpha is additionally dedicated to building community among students and faculty with a passion for political science.
Pi Sigma Alpha membership offers several benefits to students, including the opportunity to present at the annual Pi Sigma Alpha National Student Research Conference in February and opportunities for research publication in the Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics.
The Pi Sigma Alpha officers organize activities throughout the year. We are currently planning induction ceremonies for the 2023-24 academic year and a special event open to all members in Spring 2024.
To be eligible for membership, students must a) be an academic junior or senior, b) have taken at least 15 hours of government credits (at William & Mary or transfer credits), c) have an average 3.0 GPA in those courses, and d) place in the top one-third of their overall classes in terms of GPA. Eligible students are contacted by the Department with information about joining on a semester basis.
To learn more, please visit the national Pi Sigma Alpha website.
