Sigma Chi Eta

Sigma Chi Eta is the community college Honor Society of the National Communication Association.

CCD’s chapter of Sigma Chi Eta, Beta Lambda, welcomes students who have declared communication as their degree program, earned an overall 3.0 GPA, and have completed at least three communication courses with a 3.25 GPA in the major.

As stated on the National Communication Association website, “Sigma Chi Eta inducts and rewards new outstanding communication students while exploring options for community college students to transfer to four-year colleges or universities or enter the workforce. Once inducted, a student is a member for life and is expected to always strive for excellence. It is the hope of SCH and NCA that each member will maintain a relationship with his or her alma mater, faculty, and other students of the discipline.”

The Six Goals of Sigma Chi Eta:

Recognize, foster, and reward outstanding scholastic achievement
Stimulate interest in the field of Communication
Promote and encourage professional development among Communication majors
Provide an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas about the field
Establish and maintain close relationships and understanding between faculty and students
Explore options for further undergraduate/graduate studies
