About 阿尔法阿尔法 National Honor Society

A National Honor Society for First-Generation College Students.

阿尔法阿尔法, 或Tri-Alpha, was founded March 24, 2018 at Moravian College in Bethlehem, 宾西法尼亚. Over 100 members of the Alpha Chapter were initiated that day, including undergraduate students, 教师, 工作人员, 校友, and honorary members. Following the successful induction, the College took steps to incorporate 阿尔法阿尔法 so that chapters could be started on other campuses across the country. Tri-Alpha exists as a not-for-profit (501(c)3) organization, for the purposes of supporting the activities of the honors society.

The 萨克拉门托 State chapter was approved in the Summer of 2020 and chartered November 2020. The purpose of this organization shall be to recognize academic achievements in first-generation college students, create enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote leadership, and to provide support networks for first-generation students within and across college chapters.
