Student membership in Pi Alpha is an honor bestowed upon a graduating student in recognition of NOT ONLY scholastic achievement (minimum professional grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale) BUT ALSO demonstrated excellence in research, publishing, community professional service, or leadership activities. GPA alone is not an indication for induction. Total number of student members cannot exceed 15% of graduating class.
