4ft Si Alpha Koppa Mu Honor Society Greek letter honor societies had their origin with the establishment of Phi Beta Kappa at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia in December 1776. However, many of the Greek letter societies that followed selected their membership on the basis of scholarship but refrained from electing Negroes regardless of individual merits. Surveys prior to 1941 revealed that since 1930 approximately forty Negro Colleges had established some type of local society of their own based upon scholarship. Alpha Kappa Mu was organized in 1937 with twenty-one chapters. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT A college exists in order to provide for the education of a given group of students. There- fore, one might reason that a college is not a college without its student body. On the other hand, students at- tend college for many reasons. Ideally, one hopes that they attend in order to provide for them- selves, academic preparation above the general level. Among that mass of students who now are attending institutions in the United States, any student who makes an achievement above the crowd, should receive recogni- tion for his effort. This section of the 1967 LIV- INGSTONIAN is designed to do just that — HATS OFF TO THOSE WHO STRIVE FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The fact that many Negro institutions felt the need to recognize academic achievement led to the establishment of local societies and then eventually to the federation of these became national in scope. It was out of this desire to further meet the need for recognizing scholastic attainments and achievements of the Negro scholar on a broader scope that Alpha Kappa Mu had its beginning.
