Is there a sociology club at BSU? What is AKD?

There is not a formal sociology club at BSU. However, we do have a chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD), a sociology honor society. Meetings are held about once a month to discuss fundraising, social, and academic activities during the semester and school year. In the past, AKD has raised funds through book sales, bake sales, and designing and selling Sociology department T-shirts. AKD has also volunteered at local food banks to raise funds for social services. One of highlights of AKD is participating in the annual meetings of the North Central Sociological Association, the regional sociology association. Any sociology major or minor is welcome to participate in AKD meetings and activities. However, official membership is limited to juniors and seniors who carry at least a 3.0 GPA in overall course work and in any sociology courses taken. Graduate students are also eligible for membership in AKD. Members must have taken at least four sociology courses. To apply for AKD membership, print out the application (http://www.bsu.edu/sociology/media/pdf/akd-application.pdf), complete it, and take it to NQ 205, the Department of Sociology's main office, with a check for $48 made out to "Ball State University--AKD." This fee covers the cost of honor cords worn during graduation, the initiation certificate students receive when officially welcomed into the honor society, a one-year subscription to the journal Sociological Inquiry, and lifetime membership in AKD. For more information about AKD, please contact the advisors.
