The membership of the Accounting Honor Society consists of all interested accounting majors who have earned a 3.25 average in at least 12 hours of accounting courses and a 3.1 cumulative GPA. The two main purposes of the Society are to cultivate a sense of responsibility and service in its members, and to provide opportunities for association between its members and practicing accountants . This year the Society conducted a number of professional programs and activities with public accounting firms and major corporations interested in hiring accounting graduates. Also, the Society participates in the VITA Program in which club members contributed volunteer income tax assistance to low income individuals and students. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sigma Phi Lambda is a campus-wide honor society which is open to all majors who maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.25. The society represents Scholarship, Fellowship, and Leadership, and the purpose of this organization is to promote and maintain scholarship among students and to provide social experience for the group . This year, Sigma Phi Lambda will undertake several service projects involving the students, faculty and community . Examples of such activities are a food drive for the needy, tutoring services for students, and hosting a faculty nine and cheese party. It is the philosophy of Sigma Phi Lambda that the honor society should provide services to the needy, improve university relations wherever possible, and to satisfy the needs and wants of its membership. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Omicron Delta Kappa was founded at Washington and Lee University on December 3, 1914. It continued to expand through the years, and on May 4. 1976, the Madison College Leadership Society officially became the 147th Circle in ODK. The purpose of ODK is threefold: First, to recognize those who have attained a high standard of excellence in collegiate activities and to inspire others to strive for conspicuous attainment along similar lines. Second, to bring together the most representative students in all phases of collegiate life and thus to create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and collegiate interest. Third, to bring together members of the faculty and student body oj the institution on a basis of mutual interest and understanding. Omicron Delta Kappa places emphasis upon development of the whole person, both as a present member of his college community and as a prospective contributor to a better society. 206 Accounting Honor Society.
