Tau Sigma Delta was founded in 1913 at the University of Michigan . It boasts more than 50 chapters, including UNM's Gamma Lambda Chapter, and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, giving Tau Sigma Delta the high rating of most distinguished honor societies in other educational fields. Students admitted are in the top 20 percent of their class.
“Being a member of Tau Sigma Delta demonstrates to faculty, professionals and future employers that you have taken your education seriously and that you are working hard to succeed. Those who were inducted here embody that work ethic,” said Robert Williams, student president of the UNM's chapter.
The University of New Mexico is the state's largest university, serving more than 32,000 students. UNM is home to the state's only schools of law, medicine, pharmacy and architecture and operates New Mexico's only academic health center.
