Alpha Phi Sigma is a national criminal justice honor society for those studying criminal justice or a related field. The society recognizes the academic excellence of bachelor's and master's degree students of criminal justice programs.
We officially chartered the chapter, Kappa Kappa on November 7, 2008 to promote the highest standards of criminal justice practice and to recognize and promote the four goals of Alpha Phi Sigma: academic excellence, unity, leadership, and service. The Kappa Kappa chapter was welcomed as the 366th chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma.
For more information about the chapter, please visit their website.
Benefits include:
Scholarships, internships, networking, national conferences access, and up-to-date criminal justice information through the official organization newsletter, The Docket.
Lifetime membership fee:
$85 (grants a membership certificate, card, and pin).
Note:
You may not apply for membership once your degree has been conferred.
