Alpha Phi Sigma, the national honors
society for students in the criminal justice sciences.

Alpha Phi Sigma (APS) recognizes the academic excellence of
undergraduate, graduate and juris doctorate students, and is the only
criminal justice honors society recognized by the Association of College
Honor Societies.

Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Criminal Justice Honor Society, is currently in a rebuilding year for the Theta Beta chapter at Mason. We currently have 10 active members, but will be initiating more in November 2008. In conjunction with LAE, the ADJ Club at Mason, we sponsor various events throughout the academic year. In the past, we have sponsored a career panel, and participated in "CSI Nights", in which there were presentations from local police departments. Future events include a day trip to the Museum of Crime and Punishment in DC, and a charity softball tournament which we hope to hold in the spring semester.

There are several requirements to be in APS.
