The following students were inducted: Mikayla Behel, Lauren Cabrera, Maci Cagle, Garyson Campbell, Ava Cox, Zena Dorris, Xavier Falkenheim, Kylee Mckee, Luke Sullivan, Abbie Vance, and Jack Zondervan.聽
Alpha Chi membership is by invitation only to juniors and seniors with a minimum grade point average of 3.75 on at least 80 earned credit hours and candidates must be in the top 10 percent of the junior and senior class to qualify for membership. However, Dr. Loren Warf, the assistant sponsor of the program, said during the ceremony that the average GPA of this semester鈥檚 inductees was 3.99.
The ceremony highlighted the organization鈥檚 emphasis on both scholarship and character. 鈥淪cholarship is the power of the mind to dispel fear and superstition by the power of knowledge. Students should wear the pins for a week to promote not themselves, but the ideals of the organization,鈥� Warf said. The ceremony concluded with students repeating the motto found in John 8:32: 鈥淵e shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.鈥�
Falkenheim, a biochemistry, health, and Spanish major, is looking forward to having a well-rounded experience in Alpha Chi.聽
