LAWRENCE -- Thirty-two University of Kansas freshmen recently were initiated into the Tau chapter of Lambda Sigma, a national sophomore honor society.
Lambda Sigma, established at KU in 1973, is a service and social organization that sponsors the College Quiz Bowl and a raffle that awards one KU student the opportunity to switch places with Chancellor Robert Hemenway for a day. In past years, members have volunteered at Jubilee Caf³, which provides breakfast for the homeless, and a children's hospital.
Admission to the honor society is based on grade-point average and leadership. Freshmen who have at least a 3.5 GPA are invited to apply in the spring of their freshman year. Initiated members serve during their sophomore year at KU.
