Pi Alpha Alpha provides three major membership benefits: acknowledges academic achievement, provides job-searching and networking benefits, and indicates the opportunity to serve others through public service. Membership indicates to faculty, employers, and colleagues that you are a dedicated and intelligent student. You can indicate membership on your resume to improve appeal to employers and you can highlight the activities you participated in as a member. Additionally, membership indicates a choice to serve others through ongoing public service activities throughout your career path.

Interested in becoming a member? Follow these simple steps:

1. Check to see if your institution has a Pi Alpha Alpha Chapter

For Master’s degree seeking students, the minimum standards for induction include:

  • Achieve and maintain a 3.7 or above GPA Completed more than 50% of your coursework
3. Order graduation regalia from Kenneth E. Jernigans and Associates
  • Your advisor must first order your certificate and pin and then you can order additional materials
