Selecting Your Outstanding Students
To select candidates, each Chapter may choose to form a selection committee. This committee could include the President, Director of Education, Academic Dean, faculty representatives, one or two alumni members, and if possible, a state official.Although institutional grading systems vary, society candidates should generally have marks of "A" or rank at the top of their graduating class. As most institutions and programs are dramatically unique, each Chapter's selection committee can determine its own basic selection criteria.The criteria must be submitted in writing to the Delta Epsilon Tau Honor Society. Each inductee must sign an honor code and publicity release form. This code documents that the student completed his or her own work and maintained over the minimum qualifying grade point average, as determined by each Chapter.The membership fee can be collected from each student or sponsored by the institution. The base charge for each individual membership is $40. Moreover, DET Honor Cords are $15 each. There are no annual dues for schools or members.
Student Sponsored
Most honor society memberships are student-sponsored. When students sponsor their own memberships, institutions simply send potential candidates an invitation and membership application, provided by Delta Epsilon Tau.Institutions encourage students to mail their applications and fees directly to us. Within a few weeks, all DET Honors, on behalf of your institution or Chapter, are mailed directly to each outstanding student.Furthermore, approximately every two months your institution will receive a complete list of those students who joined your Delta Epsilon Tau Chapter.Contact us to find out more about selecting students for our academic organization.
