Honors Societies

Eastern Illinois University hosts many Honors societies, academic organizations, and student professional groups, covering many specific disciplines, as well as ones that are overarching and open to members from many disciplines.

We encourage you to get involved in an Honors society within your major, as well as one (or more) of the overarching societies. Membership in one of these societies may help your entry into civil service and other positions within the federal government. To find the right Honors society, check your department's website or review the list of registered student organizations (RSOs), which can be filtered by organization type.

If you aren't sure whether an Honors society that has contacted you is legitimate, check the EIU RSO website linked above to see whether it has a recognized local chapter. You can also see whether the society is affiliated with the Association of College Honorary Societies. This advice is for informational purposes only and is not intended as an endorsement or objection to any particular Honorary Society. When in doubt, talk with a faculty member in the relevant field who can advise you or come chat with the Honors College staff.
