GKA - Gamma Kappa Alpha - National Italian Honor Society
SDSU has a Gamma Kappa Alpha National Italian Honor Society Chapter and a Gamma Kappa Alpha Award Scholarship. The initials signify "Knowledge and Virtue."
The Gamma Kappa Alpha acknowledges superior scholastic performance in the field of Italian language, literature and culture, and is the only National Italian Honor Society in the United States and Canada.
The Society encourages college students to acquire a greater interest in, and a deeper understanding of, Italian culture, art and history. The organization recognizes outstanding undergraduate scholarship in the field of Italian by awarding annually the Gamma Kappa Alpha Award for Scholarship.
Any senior or junior with at least a "B" average in Italian is eligible. Students must have taken at least five courses in Italian total, including two at SDSU, and one of which must be at the advanced level. Students must also be in the upper 35% of their class.
New members are inducted in the spring semester and receive a certificate of recognition and a special honors cord to be worn at graduation.
All students who think they might qualify are highly encouraged to write to Professor Clarissa Clò, Chapter academic Advisor, for more information: cclo@mail.sdsu.edu
