History
In 1924, Dr. Leroy Allen, dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas and Dr. Kansas ( is a Midwestern state in the central region of the United States of America, an area often referred to as the American " William Angus Hamilton, dean of both the Law School and School of Business Administration at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia established an honor society to promote academic excellence and achieve "integration and humanization" in the social sciences. The Mason School of Business is the highly ranked Business school for graduate and undergraduate degrees at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. The College of William and Mary (officially The College of William and Mary in Virginia, also known as William & Mary or W&M) is a Public university Williamsburg is a city located on the Virginia Peninsula in the Hampton Roads region in southeastern Virginia The Commonwealth of Virginia ( is an American state The early 1900s witnessed the autonomous development of the younger social science fields, including social work, international relations and criminal justice. Social work is a discipline involving the application of Social theory and research methods to study and improve the lives of people groups and societies Criminal justice is the system of practices and organizations used by national and local governments directed at maintaining Social control, deterring Of greater concern among some of the leading scholars of the time was what they saw as the increasing tendency toward "sheer quantification"[1] and "mensuration"[1] in the traditional social science disciplines. The founders of the new honor society believed that "if the social sciences are to render any adequate service to humanity, factionalism, separatism and dehumanization in them must be overcome. " [2]
The honor society was named Pi Gamma Mu from the initials of the three Greek words that describe the Society's objective: Politixes Gnōseōs Mathetai (Πολιτικές Γνώσεως Μάθεται), the study of political and social science. The term Politixes or "political science or phenomena" encompassed the field of economics, which was then commonly referred to as political economy, its original name. Economics is the social science that studies the production distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Political economy originally was the term for studying production buying and selling and their relations with law custom and government Pi Gamma Mu stood not only for scholarship in the social sciences, but also for synthesis and cooperation among its various branches. It was an early advocate of an interdisciplinary as well as a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of social problems.
In Dean Allen Pi Gamma Mu had a creative visionary and in Dean Hamilton a highly respected leader who was also described as "an authority on fraternal organizations and a leader in fraternal circles. "[3] By November 1924, the founding members led by Dean Allen and Dean Hamilton had drafted a constitution for the Society and issued charters to the first 17 chapters, mostly private, liberal arts colleges and universities led by Southwestern College and the College of William and Mary. The next year, the first issue of the Society's official journal, Social Science (subtitled "For the scientific study of social problems"), was published and distributed to its members. The social sciences comprise academic disciplines concerned with the study of the social life of human groups and individuals including Anthropology, Communication studies The journal's stated objectives were "the promotion of the social sciences in college curricula" and "the integration of the social sciences in the education of students. " [4] The Society was formally incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the state of Colorado in 1929 under the name "The National Social Science Honor Society, Pi Gamma Mu, Inc". The State of Colorado ( or chiefly by nonresidents) is a state located in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States of America. [5]
After Dr. Hamilton died in 1929, much of the groundwork for the new Society had to be laid by Dr. Allen who served as its first national president (1924-1931) and then national secretary (1931-1947). Pi Gamma Mu had for its succeeding presidents several distinguished social scientists, including the noted sociologist and American Sociological Association president Charles Abram Ellwood of Duke University, co-founder of the Society and its president from 1931 to 1937, Dr. Duke University is a private Research University located in Durham, North Carolina, United States. S.

The late 1920s and 1930s was a period of heightened growth for Pi Gamma Mu. Columbia University in New York City was the first large university to establish a chapter (1925) of the Society. Columbia University is a private University in the United States and a member of the Ivy League. The City of New York The University of Hawaii chapter was the first to be organized outside of the continental United States. The University of Hawaii, formally the University of Hawaii System and popularly known as UH, is a public co-educational college and university system that confers In 1932, the first foreign chapter was chartered at the University of Toronto in Canada. This article is about the University of Toronto's St George Campus Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page Later that year, a chapter was also installed at the University of the Philippines; a second Philippine chapter was organized at De La Salle University in 1989. The University of the Philippines (or Unibersidad ng Pilipinas in Filipino and commonly abbreviated as U In 1955, the trustees of Pi Gamma Mu voted to grant a charter to the Catholic University of Puerto Rico.

In 2007, the Kuwait Alpha at the American University of Kuwait became Pi Gamma Mu's newest international chapter. The American University of Kuwait is a private liberal arts institution based on the American model of higher education in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
To acknowledge its chapters outside of the United States, the Board of Trustees took action in 1980 to change the name of the Society to "Pi Gamma Mu, International Honor Society in Social Sciences". In 1982, the name of its official journal was also changed to International Social Science Review. [6] In 1991 to enhance its international scope, the trustees approved the conferring of affiliate (or associate member) status on visiting fellows and exchange students who demonstrate academic excellence in their fields but are not otherwise expected to complete their degree programs at a Pi Gamma Mu sheltering college or university. The same international emphasis continued as the Philippines Alpha chapter commemorated its 75th Anniversary on March 7, 2007. The unique influence of the Philippines Alpha chapter is recorded in Scott Johnston’s work, Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Science First 75 Years: “Again the quality of the people elected to the Philippines Alpha chapter has been most impressive. They have included two Presidents of the Republic, two Prime Ministers, a dozen Supreme Court Justices, and two dozen Cabinet members. Concerning the University of the Philippines itself, there have been six Presidents, a dozen Vice Chancellors and dozens upon dozens of Deans of the University. ”
In 1996, Kay Anderson, professor of social work at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Texas, became the first female president (1996-2002) of the Society.

In Science, the term natural science refers to a naturalistic approach to the study of the Universe, which is understood as obeying rules or law of The running figure is reminiscent of the ancient Greek torch race and symbolizes humanity bringing knowledge to the solution of its own problems and passing on the light from generation to generation. The detail of the Greek torch is illustrated below. In the key are engraved the Greek letters Pi Gamma Mu and 1924, its founding year.
Colors The official colors are royal blue and white - for truth and light. These are also the colors of the candles used during the initiation ceremonies and the honor cords or stoles worn at graduation (also shown above).

Governance
The present constitution of the Society provides for triennial conventions, with each chapter eligible to send a delegation. The convention is vested with the supreme authority of the Society. During the convention, delegates elect two student representatives[8] to the Board of Trustees, which exercises administrative power between conventions.
Members of the Board of Trustees are elected by the chapters for three-year terms to coincide with each triennium. The President of the Society provides leadership to the board and executes the policies of the convention and the board. There is a vice-president for chapter development and another one for scholarships and awards. Four chancellors oversee regions made up of several provinces. Regional chancellors assume responsibility for liaison between the international organization and the chapters in their respective regions. The provinces are headed by governors who lend support and assistance to the collegiate chapters under their jurisdiction. As the situation warrants, the President shall appoint governors and vice-chancellors who hold office for three years or until their successors are chosen.
Each chapter, under the direction of faculty sponsors and elected student officers, plans its own programs and specific areas of service. Chapters bear the names of their respective states along with a Greek letter denoting their order of precedence within each state as determined by the charter date. Hence, the chapter at the University of Wyoming (founded in 1924 by Dr. The University of Wyoming is a Land-grant university located in Laramie, Wyoming, situated on Wyoming's high Laramie Plains, at an elevation Hebard) is officially known as the Wyoming Alpha Chapter, being the first to be chartered in that state.
