Huntington University’s Alpa Chi chapter was named “Outstanding Chapter of the Year” at the Alpha Chi National Convention, held March 19-21 in Chicago. There are over 300 Alpha Chi chapters. The award, called the President’s Cup, was first given in 1987…to Huntington University. Only one other college has won the award twice.
Community and campus activities factor into the award. Students also present academic papers at national conferences. HU students wrote on topics ranging from Shakespeare to F. Scott Fitzgerald to pornography addiction.
Membership in Alpa Chi requires ranking in the top 10 percent of the junior or senior class, outstanding character, and a nomination by faculty and staff. Huntington University’s Alpha Chi chapter shows HU’s serious academic competency.
