Sigma Theta Phi In the second semester of 1938-39 an honor society was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in high scholastic achievement and uniting for social and cultural advantages all students who exhibit marked ability in their studies. Through the efforts of the Student Council tentative rules for membership were drawn up and the following charter members were selected: Lawrence Fish, Edward Gilbert, Virginia Groff, Glenn Hicks, Juanita Haley, Samuel House, Lewis Ingle, Margaret Kirby, Evelyn Littrell, Bobbie Merrill, Paul Moore, Clyde Owensby, Dorothy Voigt, and Margaret Wiman. Early in the present year the society perfected a more permanent organization, selecting for a name Sigma Theta Phi. New members are received into the society each semester. Membership is conditioned upon the attainment of an average of at least 2.50 grade points for all work completed in two consecutive semesters_ (This necessitates that one have an average equivalent to half-way between the grades A and B.) At present, under the leadership of Bobbie Merrill, president, Sigma Theta Phi is taking the initiative in organizing a national honor society to include chapters in all senior Nazarene colleges. If the proposed national honor society can be established during the General Assembly of the church in June, the local society will have added prestige and usefulness in the years to come.
