ALPHA SIGMA NU*
The National Jesuit Honor Society was founded in 1915 with chapters in 28 Jesuit
universities throughout the United States. The Scranton chapter was founded in 1943, the
oldest Honor Society in the University. It is the only Honor Society open to students and
faculty in all disciplines and all colleges of the University. Its admission standards are the
most rigorous. The Greek letters signify adelphotes skolastikon nikephoron – brotherhood
of honor students. Juniors and seniors who have distinguished themselves in scholarship,
loyalty and service are eligible for membership. Appointment is made by the president of
the University on the recommendation of the moderator and nomination by chapter members
of the Society. From 1982-1985, Dr. William Parente, professor of political science,
served as national president of the 20,000-member organization.
The Society annually presents the Alpha Sigma Nu University award for teaching.
