Due to a scheduling conflict, our October chapter meeting will be delayed until the next week. It is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, October 21st.

If you need to access the Service Log for the Fall 2021 Semester, it is accessible under the "Files" tab of the NHS website. You can also find it linked right here.

Induction will be held on Thursday, September 23rd in the FHS Big Gym. Inductees should arrive by 5:30 PM. Family members of inductees are welcome, but please do not wear high heels as they damage the gym floor. Inductees should wear formal attire. All attendees, including family members are required to wear a mask covering their mouth and nose at all times!

NOTE THAT CURRENT MEMBERS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO ATTEND INDUCTION.
