Westminster College has established a chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta, an international sociology honor society founded in 1920.

The first initiates are Crystal Brian, Amy Bridge, Kourtney Kissel, Jill Klobusnik, Eryn Lees, Diana Moore, and Laura Steudler.

The purpose of Alpha Kappa Delta is to promote excellence in scholarship in the study of sociology, research of social problems, and such other social and intellectual activites that will lead to improvement in the human condition.  Requirements for membership include a declared sociology major or minor, at least a junior standing, overall grade point average of at least 3.25 and ranking in the top 35 percent of his or her class, and completion of at least four sociology of social science courses.

For more information, contact Dr. Kristin Park, associate professor of sociology at Westminster College and advisor of the group, at (724) 946-7251 or e-mail kpark@westminster.edu.
