The Hastings College chapter of Alpha Chi, a collegiate all-discipline academic honor society, inducted seven new students recently.
Alpha Chi is a coeducational academic honor society designed to promote academic excellence and exemplary character among college students and to honor those who achieve such distinction. Only students who place in the top 10 percent of their class are invited to become members.
Students with membership in Alpha Chi help host activities on campus, including Academic Showcase Day, an annual event in the spring that highlights student achievement.
