More than 70 William Carey University students were accepted this spring as members of the Mississippi Beta chapter of Alpha Chi National College Honor Society. An induction ceremony was to be held in April but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be postponed until next year for returning students.
Membership into Alpha Chi is limited to no more than 10 percent of the junior, senior, and graduate class members. WCU students must have a grade point average of at least 3.70 on a 4.0 scale to qualify.
The lead faculty sponsor is Dr. Read Diket. Other co-sponsors are Dr. Randall Harris, Dr. Tom Richardson, Dr. Everett Roark and Dolores O’Mary.
