学生组织 in 社会工作

简史
The concept of a national social work honor society came from a group of undergraduate social work students at 密歇根州立大学 in 1960. Investigation revealed that local chapters existed at three schools. Those three schools along with a few other schools formed a National Honor Society Committee in November 1960. For more than a year, this committee worked on the constitution and other administrative matters. The name φα was adopted from the local chapter existing at Florida State University.
The constitution and formal organization were completed in 1962, and six chapters qualified to become "charter chapters.” The charter chapters were Florida State University, 密歇根州立大学, 俄亥俄北部大学, 中央州立大学, 代顿大学, 以及田纳西大学. Over 380 chapters are now in existence, and the addition of new chapters is continuing.
φα offers membership to social work students, faculty, and practitioners. The National Council is the policy-making body and meets each year at the time and place of the annual program meeting of the Council of 社会工作 Education (CSWE). Each chapter has one voting representative on the national council.
