Jump to: navigation, search

SPURS National Honor Society (Service, Patriotism, Unity, Responsibility, and Sacrifice) was a collegiate sophomore honor society founded at Montana State University - Bozeman as an honor society for Sophomore women in 1922.[1] Originally a women-only organization, SPURS went co-educational in 1976. Chapters were spread across the United States, primarily at smaller colleges and universities and emphasis remained on community service and scholarship.

[edit] MSU Bozeman Chapter

The Sorority dissolved as a national organization as of May 31, 2006 by decision of the October 2005 National Convention [4] However, the MSU SPURS that were left decided to join with the MSU Student Alumni Association the following the year (as did the dissolved society "Fangs"--a branch from the Intercollegiate Knights.) With this team up, MSU's student alumni association-"SPURS and Fangs"- is in rapid development.

[edit] Linfield College Chapter

After the dissolution of the national organization, the SPURS chapter at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon decided to remain an honor society dedicated to the founding ideals. The club is no longer exclusively for sophomores but also juniors and seniors.[2]
