Alpha Sigma Nu - Saint Peter's University Chapter

Alpha Sigma Nu - Saint Peter's University Chapter Alpha Sigma Nu is the honor society of Jesuit institutions of higher education. By 1924, Gamma Pi Epsilon was founded to honor outstanding women.

The purpose of the Society shall be to honor students of Jesuit institutions of higher education who distinguish themselves in scholarship, loyalty and service; to honor persons who may or may not be Alumni of Jesuit institutions of higher education who have distinguished themselves in scholarship, loyalty and service in their intellectual, civic, religious, or professional pursuits; to band together and to encourage those so honored to understand, to appreciate and to promote the ideals of Jesuit education; to encourage the establishment and proper functioning of Chapters in accredited Jesuit institutions of higher education; and to encourage the establishment and proper functioning of Alumni Clubs. Alpha Sigma Nu was founded at Marquette University in 1915 by John Danihy, SJ, Dean of Journalism. In his travels and reading, Father Danihy had encountered and admired honor societies. In the first half of the 20th century, administrators of Catholic institutions of higher education found that their students were being systematically locked out of other honor societies. The society, known as Alpha Sigma Tau until 1930, spread from Marquette to Creighton University, to Saint Louis University and to the University of Detroit in its first decade. Alpha Sigma Nu and Gamma Pi Epsilon pursued separate but similar paths for almost 50 years, expanding nationally and cooperating on campuses where they existed together. The society born of their merger in 1973 is open to men and women at the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, two in Canada and one in South Korea. Alpha Sigma Nu, in seeking the best of Jesuit education, requires that its now over 74,000 members emulate St. Ignatius through excellence in scholarship, loyalty, and service. This Ignatian heritage is relevant today, as Alpha Sigma Nu gears up for its 100th year.
