KINGSTON, R.I. — April 19, 1999 — More than two hundred freshmen students from the University of Rhode Island were recently inducted into the national honor society, Phi Eta Sigma. Phi Eta Sigma is the oldest and largest freshmen honor society in the United States.
Founded in 1923 at the University of Illinois, Phi Eta Sigma encourages and rewards academic excellence among freshmen in institutions of higher learning. The organization is an outward recognition of personal accomplishment and serves as an incentive for continued high scholarship. The organization also provides freshmen honorees the opportunity to meet other scholars from all academic disciplines on campus and to join in the promotion of academic excellence. There are more than 300 chapters and 550,000 members in the United States.
