2025 Alpha Mu Gamma Inductees - Theta Iota Chapter

“Alpha Mu Gamma has as its primary purpose the honoring of students for outstanding achievement during their first year of foreign language study in college. However, students may be admitted at any stage in their college careers. Upon initiation a member receives a parchment certificate of membership and may wear the scroll-shaped gold key or pin.” In 2025, over 30 students were inducted into the Theta Iota chapter of the Alpha Mu Gamma Honor Society at the University of Scranton.Some of the 2025 inductees into the Theta Iota Chapter of Alpha Mu Gamma
