The Georgia Tech Chapter of Sigma Gamma Tau, the national honor society for aerospace engineers, has inducted 19 new members to its ranks.

The students, all undergraduates in the School of Aerospace Engineering, were formally sworn in March 25 at ceremonies held in the Student Success Center.

SGT President Michael Fifield says the inductions bring the group's membership to 60 undergraduate students. Induction is very competitive, he noted.

"It's based on class rank.Those in the top fifth of the sophomore class, top quarter of the junior class, and top third of the senior class are extended invitations to join," he said.

In addition to being among the top students at Georgia Tech, SGT members are committed to helping others excel in their studies and careers.

"We have an active tutoring program that is extended to any AE student in need," he said.

"Over the next year, we will be compiling a list of contacts for the graduating seniors and where they are going to work so that SGT can build a network for organizing more recruiting events in the future."
