A University-wide Honor Society, Phi Alpha Pi, is the scholastic honor society of Gallaudet University. Seniors (with academic degree averages of 3.3 or above and at least 3.0 for their freshman and sophomore years) are nominated for membership. Not more than 10 percent of the senior class may be elected to membership. Juniors (one student in a class of 100 or fewer and not more than 1 percent of a larger class) may be elected if their academic records are clearly superior (a degree average of 3.5 or more).
