| Transcript | Appreciating French Pi Delta Phi To recognize excellence andjellowship in the study of French language and culture." Pi Delta Phi, the National French Honor society, was founded at the University of California at Berkeley in 1906. In April of 1952, the Beta Beta Chapter of Pi Delta Phi was founded at the University of Houston. Today Pi Delta Phi at UH has 15 members who are mostly French majors, minors or graduate students. Members of this National Organization are required to maintain a GPA of 3.00 in all their French courses. Phi Delta Phi's goals and objectives are as follow: Recognize outstanding student scholarship in French language and literature. To increase knowledge and admiration of Americans for the contribution of France to world culture. To stimulate and encourage such cultural activities that will lead to a deeper appreciation of France and its people. In fall 1993 the UofH chapter of Pi Delta Phi sponsored cultural activities that included attending performances of "Cyrano de Bergerac" and in the spring Tartuff at the Alley Theater. In addition, Pi Delta Phi Communique, a monthly newsletter produced by the UofH chapter since the 1993 fall semester, keeps students in the French scene. The newsletter also serves as a source for students to publish articles and poetry in the French language. In the spring of 1994, Pi Delta Phi will initiate new members into the French Honor Society at its annual initiation ceremony. This year the ceremony will take place at the offices of Alliance Francaise in Houston. New members of Pi Delta Phi wa initiated April 23,1994. The ceromony included a caterrd buffe, a wine tasting and the induction ceremony itself where intistes demontrated their mastery of the French language and culture. Also this year. Pi Delta Phi will be offering a number of scholarships to members of the organization. Funds for these scholarships were raised by the UH chapter through four bake sales and other fundraising activities. The bake sales were huge successes and raised money for the scholarships. -Makini Tchameni 200 6D Organizations |
