Program History

History: There were eight honor societies at Wartburg College as of 2017. These include: Tri Beta (biology), Kappa Delta Pi (education), Kappa Mu Epsilon (mathematics), Lambda Pi Eta (communications), Phi Alpha Theta (history), Phi Eta Sigma (first-year), Psi Chi (psychology), and Sigma Delta Pi (Hispanic). Several different honor societies emerged in the past, but these eight are the ones currently recognized by the college. Wartburg’s chapter of Alpha Phi Gamma was founded in 1949. It ended in 1975 when Alpha Phi Gamma and Pi Delta Epsilon merged to form the Society of Collegiate Journalists.

Timeline: 1949 (earliest record)- Present.
