Stephen Gervase Inducted into Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society at Elmira College

2017 Oct 12

Stephen Gervase was one of more than 30 students who were inducted into the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society during a ceremony held last week at Elmira College.

In addition, Dr. Alexa Yesukevich, adjunct professor of sociology, was inducted as an honorary member.

Phi Eta Sigma, the oldest and largest first-year honor society, was founded in 1923 at the University of Illinois with the goal of encouraging and rewarding academic excellence among full-time, first-year students in institutions of higher learning.

The Society has established chapters in over 350 institutions of higher learning in the United States. Elmira College is the 289th chapter, established in 1990.

The three Greek letters, Phi, Eta, and Sigma, represent the basis of the organization's membership, in that they mean literally "lovers of wisdom."
