Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU)

Gamma Psi Chapter

introduction:

Kutztown University is home to the Gamma Psi Chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon, the International Geographical Honor Society. GTU is open to any and all KU students that have an overall GPA of 3.3 or higher in at least 36 credit hours, and at least a 3.3 GPA in a minimum of 9 credit hours in geography. Letters are sent out each spring to all KU students meeting these requirements inviting them to a simple, casual initiation ceremony. Here inductees are exposed to the history of GTU, and the meanings of the organization's symbols and colors.

The Gamma Psi Chapter was selected to the national list of Honors Chapters for 2013!  This is a great honor and achievement.
