University of Scranton

Andrew Milisits, of Northampton, was among the 58 University of Scranton students inducted into Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit honor society. Milisits is a senior pursuing a philosophy degree at the Jesuit university.

Alpha Sigma Nu is the only honor society open to students and faculty in all disciplines of the university. Juniors, seniors and graduate students, including students in doctoral level degree programs, who have distinguished themselves in scholarship, loyalty and service are eligible for membership. Appointments are made by the president of the university on the recommendation of the moderator and chapter members of the society, and no more than 4 percent of the junior and senior class may be admitted each year. The Scranton chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu was established in 1943 and is the oldest honor society at the university.
