New members inducted to Phalanx and White Key Societies

The Phalanx Honor Society, founded in 1912 by Edward Dion, Class of 1912, and the Student Council, was established to recognize Rensselaer students with outstanding records of “leadership, service, and devotion to the alma mater.” Honorary membership to Phalanx goes to RPI faculty who have “increased the welfare of the Institute by their personal activity.” The White Key society, founded in 1939, distinguishes freshman and sophomore students who exhibit “leadership and service in Rensselaer activities.” The new members of Phalanx and White Key were inducted in a "tapping ceremony" earlier today.
