"Climb Every Mountain"

   Once you're on your way, you may begin to achieve your goals. Your efforts don't go unrecognized at SUI; numerous honoraries are ready to welcome you when you begin to "Climb Every Mountain" and you've met their standards. 
   Your first recognition may come as a freshman with an invitation to join Alpha Lambda Delta, a freshman women's honorary, which confers membership on those attaining a 3.5 (B+) grade average or better. (SUI grades on a 4-point scale, which means you'll receive 4 points for every hour of "A," 3 for every hour of "B," etc.).
   Being tapped for Mortar Board may be the climax of your junior year. Mortar Board is a national society for college senior women who have shown outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service. From five to twenty-five junior women are selected by the outgoing chapter and tapped at the annual Leadership Banquet. Mortar Board is both and honor and a responsibility, as the members sponsor several projects throughout the year. A Mortar Board white blazer is a symbol of an outstanding woman on the SUI campus.
   Phi Beta Kappa, one of the oldest and best-known of the honoraries, initiates second-semester seniors in liberal arts who rank in the top 10 percent of their class. 
   Most departments and major fields at SUI recognize outstanding work among the undergraduate woman with membership in honorary groups. You may be asked to participate in-
     Phi Lambda Upsilon and Iota Sigma Phi-chemistry
     Pi Lambda Theta-education
     Sigma Alpha Eta-speech pathology
     Theta Sigma Phi-journalism
     Sigma Theta Tau-nursing
