The Goucher Chapter elects new members from the top 10 to 15 percent of the senior class. Students do not apply for membership.
Students are eligible for election on the basis of academic standing and rules of eligibility established by the Senate of the Chapter. These rules include a minimum grade point average of 3.50, and no more than 10 percent of the credit hours they have completed ordinarily may be graded Pass/No Pass (courses that cannot be taken for a grade do not count in the 10 percent).
All college-level work is considered, but work done at Goucher is weighted more heavily. Achievement of these standards does not guarantee membership. Students must also demonstrate academic integrity, commitment to intellectual pursuits, and breadth within their academic program. The latter will ordinarily require that he or she will have taken courses in each of the five divisions beyond those taken to satisfy the general education requirements.
