Mortar Board, Inc. is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for distinguished ability and achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service. Mortar Board began in 1918 as the first national organization honoring senior college women. When the Society opened its membership to men in 1975, the organization maintained a tribute to the founders and its heritage by strengthening the Preamble to the Constitution by including a commitment to the advancement of the status of women.
While it is an honor to be selected for membership in Mortar
Board, it is the commitment to continue to serve that differentiates
an honor society from an honorary. Accepting membership means
accepting the responsibility and obligation to be an active
participant in chapter activities. This commitment is an agreement
to support actively the ideals of the society.
Mortar Board
is a national network that includes over 200 chapters, 50 alumni
chapters, and 25 sections. After graduation, members are encouraged
to keep their names and addresses current with the National
Office. Since 1918, over 200,000 college seniors have been initiated
into the Mortar Board tradition of scholarship, leadership,
and service. We welcome you and invite you to share our tradition.
