Honor Society

Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, recognizes students with overall academic excellence and superior scholarship with an active enthusiasm for all things Hispanic. The Beta Xi chapter was established at Dominican in 1948.

Students must meet the following requirements:

• GPA of 3.3 on a 4.0 point scale in all Spanish coursework
• Ranking in the upper 35 percent of their class
