Honorary Societies at Colorado State University

One means of recognizing outstanding students at Colorado State University is through election to membership in a chapter of a local, national, or international honorary society. Criteria for membership and the scope of activities vary widely. Some societies focus primarily on scholastic achievement; others consider grades along with other factors such as community service and leadership. Some select members by invitation only; for others, students must submit applications.

Below are listed the names of those societies who are present at Colorado State University, with the name of some local contacts, and where possible, the web site of the organization.
