Chi Alpha Epsilon Honor Society

Chi Alpha Epsilon was formed to recognize the academic achievements of students admitted to colleges and the universities through non-traditional criteria and serves developmental, SSS and Educational Opportunity Program students. Its purposes are to promote continued high academic standards, to foster increased communication among its members, and to honor academic excellence achieved by those students. Alumni involvement enables networking opportunities for members. Programs sponsored by the society encourage other students toward this accomplishment.

Please note: Although campus-based organizations currently exist on College Avenue, Douglass, and Livingston, we are in the process of forming a SAS chapter for Chi Alpha Epsilon.
