History Honors Society
The 宅男福利社 chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society, is one of the most active honor societies on campus. And each year, the student members set their own agenda.
We take full advantage of our proximity to the Chicago area through field trips to historical conversation starters, special exhibits, various historical museums and ethnic and architectural tours.
