    Information about the Society and Recognition:
     
     
      One purpose of the Societa' Onoraria Italica is to extend recognition to outstanding students of Italian in secondary schools.
     
    Recognition is extended to members as follows:
     
    1) The certificate of membership represents a visible reward for achievement in the study of Italian.
    2) The wearing of the pin or the medal is another form of visible recognition. 
    3) An entry to membership in this honorary society will be made on the student's permanent record.
    4) The induction ceremony is a significant event honoring the new members.
    5)  The school paper should publish the names of every newly elected member.
    6) Mention should be made in the school's year book at the time of the student's graduation, perhaps under or near the student's picture.
    7) Membership in the Societa' should be noted in the student's application to college or other institutions.
    8) The framed charter with the appended names of the members may be displayed in a hallway or in the office of the foreign language department.
     
    *** At each graduation an award is given to the Outstanding Student of Italian in each school. The Chapter Advisor shall send the name of the said student to the President of the Societa' at least six weeks prior to the graduation date.
