Encouraging Intellectual Growth: The Gamma Iota Chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma
Author: The Crusader Staff Writer Andrea Antezana
Several full-time BAC students [were] inducted to the Gamma Iota Chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma National Honor Society at the Sacred Heart Chapel at BAC on April 19th. These students have completed 65 credit hours or more and have maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average.
The Gamma Iota Chapter was established in 1959 to recognize academic achievement at BAC.
Once a member, one always remains a member and is connected to other students, Alumni, and faculty from numerous colleges and universities with a Catholic tradition.
As a member of the GI Chapter, one belongs to a group of individuals who embody Belmont Abbey’s core values of love, prayer, stability, conversation, obedience, discipline, humility, stewardship, hospitality, and community to the pursuit of knowledge and excellence.
Membership in DES opens the doors to a life-long subscription to the Delta Epsilon Sigma Journal, scholarships, awards, and writing contest prizes.
Being a member of the GI Chapter is a privilege. Therefore, members should always be mindful that not only are they representatives of BAC but also the GI Chapter by continuing to embody the values of service to others and the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.
Here at BAC, we strive for excellence in all we do, and the GI Chapter is one way of acknowledging excellence in students. Becoming a member of the GI Chapter is possible as long as one dedicates time to academics and serving others as Christ did.
If one meets the requirements for joining, look out for an email from Dr. Laura J. Campbell, the faculty member in charge of the GI Chapter, or contact her.
We congratulate this year’s inductees to the Gamma Iota Chapter at BAC.
