Phi Delta Lambda is the national honor society of the colleges and universities of the Church of the Nazarene. Each college or university maintains a chapter, the one at Trevecca Nazarene University being the Zeta chapter. Undergraduate students, both traditional and nontraditional, are eligible for induction during the year in which they graduate. Inductees will have a minimum cumulative 3.8 GPA. Membership will not exceed 15 percent of the total number of graduates.
The Honor Society. At the end of each spring semester the Honor Society membership list includes those traditional undergraduate students (24 hours and above) who have a cumulative average of 3.5 and have been enrolled full time for the previous fall and spring semesters. Members are inducted the following year. Transfer student requirements are outlined in the Honor Society Constitution. Students who have not completed all required developmental courses are not eligible for membership.
