Purpose of an Honor Society

The Articles of Incorporation of Pi Sigma Alpha state as one of its purposes "to stimulate scholarship and intelligent interest in political science." The society functions at the national level, sponsoring programs and events of value to the profession and teaching of political science, and at the chapter level. Each chapter is encouraged to provide a framework for enriching the exposure of its members and the wider university community to the study of government and issues of public concern. The goals of Pi Sigma Alpha are consistent with the aims of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) as set out in the ACHS Booklet of Information. This material provides a good framework for understanding the meaning and value of a political science honor society and its place on an American campus, and makes worthwhile reading.

Pi Sigma Alpha is not affiliated with any one political party.  Supporters of any party are encouraged to attend meetings and participate in activities.  Meetings are held every Wednesday, and consist of a variety of different features.  Movie nights, guest speakers, volunteering, and political discussion are a few things you can expect from your local chapter, here at Ball State University!
