As Honor Society® grows as a society, it has become more and more important to explicitly define the core values from which we develop our culture, our mission, and our decision-making framework.
These are the ten core values that we live by.
Honor Society® members pursue excellence in every area of their lives. Whether it be in their academic pursuits, as leaders in their group of friends and families, or in their careers the pursuit of excellence is a driver in decision making.
Members of Honor Society® are creative and critical thinkers. They are not afraid to think outside of the box and to suggest change when it is needed. Honor Society® members are the change drivers that will make our future a better place.
Embrace Knowledge and Intellectual Pursuits
Honor Society® members are proud to embrace knowledge and intellectual pursuits.
Part of living out the Honor Society® values is to know that there is always room for growth and to seek it out. This means taking advantage of the Honor Society® resources, reaching out to professors for enrichment, and teaming up with peers to motivate and encourage one another.
