Ivy Honorary
Scholarship, Leadership, Service

Founded in 1992, Ivy Honorary is one of the 223 collegiate chapters of National Mortar Board, a national honor society recognizing college seniors for their exemplary scholarship, leadership, and service.

Mortar Board is distinguished from other honor societies by active membership: students lead each chapter and organize service projects. Induction into Ivy Honorary is meant both as an honor and a lifetime commitment to uphold the ideals of Mortar Board.

Each year, qualified juniors are invited to apply for membership in National Mortar Board.  Students accepted into the SPU chapter are surprised and "tapped" during spring quarter -- pinned with a sprig of ivy to signal their acceptance into Ivy Honorary.

Though one of the younger chapters of Mortar Board, Ivy Honorary at Seattle Pacific University seeks to distinguish itself as a Christian honor society, "able to do all things through Christ."  Membership in Ivy Honorary is more than filler for a resume: it is a commitment to learn, to lead, and to love by serving others.
