NATIONAL CHAPTER FUNCTION

• The national chapter establishes the guidelines for ESA membership.

• The national chapter charters chapters, coordinates information about chapters for prospective members, and provides information on starting a chapter to interested groups.

• Each local chapter is self-governed and establishes its own by-laws and rules for membership.

• ESA's National Office is not involved in the day-to-day function of
  the chapters and is not liable for the actions of individual chapters or members.

HISTORY

Eta Sigma Alpha is the first honor society established exclusively for homeschooled students. Founded in 1999 by Joanne E. Juren, M.Ed., Executive Director of the Home Education Partnership of Texas, it has grown into a national organization.

As a former public school administrator, Juren contacted the National Honor Society with the intent of forming a homeschool chapter for her sons and others in a local support group in 1997. When told that NHS did not accept homeschool students, Juren decided to start a new honor society for homeschoolers. Over the next two years, the idea for Eta Sigma Alpha was refined and the "Alpha" chapter was started in 1999 through the Home Education Partnership of Texas. Barbara Gorman served as the first lead sponsor along with Joanne Juren and Terry Arnold as co-sponsors.

ETA SIGMA ALPHA

History of the name

Eta, the Greek letter that is shaped like an “h” and Sigma, the letter for “s” were chosen, along with Alpha,

the first letter of the Greek alphabet to create the name of Eta Sigma Alpha.

Eta Sigma Alpha means the “first homeschool” honor society.

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Mandatory Requirement for ESA membership:

A test score of 1800 (SAT) or 26 (ACT) or 180 (PSAT) or a 90% on the composite/complete battery on the IOWA, Stanford, California, MAT, or other nationally normed standardized achievement tests is required for ESA membership. The test score is non-negotiable!  SPONSORS ARE NOT TO MAKE EXCEPTIONS (even for younger children).

Note:  The Core total is NOT to be used; please use the composite or complete battery scores only.  We cannot allow sponsors to pick and choose which scores to use.  So, please use the composite/complete score results.

Additional Requirements as established by each individual chapter may include requirements such as:
 

• 3.5 grade point average based on a 4.0 scale.  (This GPA may include the parent transcript, early admission college courses, co-op or support group homeschool class grades, or similar coursework supervised/directed by the homeschooling parent.) 

• Essay written by applicant

• Statement of faith; membership in a certain organization such as a state, regional, or local homeschool group; co-op; or sponsoring organization

• Attendance, service, participation guidelines  - We do recommend that chapters have meetings, but the chapter may determine how often.

• Other requirements established by the By-laws of each local chapter

• Letters of recommendation

Chapters should have two deep leadership which means a minimum of two sponsors, not from the same family. We also recommend that chapters have a minimum of five eligible students to start a chapter. By-laws are to be developed by the students and made available to prospective members.  Chapters must hold meetings.  We do not charter chapters which do NOT meet.  The meetings may be monthly, quarterly, or even weekly, but chapters must hold meetings.

We only accept members in chapters.  We do not accept members-at-large.

Please Note:  ESA is limited to homeschool students; this is the only limitation we have.   Anyone who is interested may apply for a chapter.  Support groups, co-ops, church groups, or other interested parties may apply for a charter.   Individual chapters do have the right to establish their own membership guidelines to be compatible with the organization that sponsors it.  We are friendly to people of all faiths and political persuasions! We do reserve the right to locate chapters so that they do not compete with one another for students.

Homeschool Eligibility - Only those students who meet the HSLDA definition of a homeschooler are eligible for ESA membership.  This rule states that a student must complete 50% of his/her studies at home under the direct supervision of the parent. Co-op programs, group classes, and even community college courses are acceptable as long as the 50% rule is followed.   Students enrolled in public school programs, charter school programs, full-time college programs, or other programs where more than 50% of the school time is spent in the supervision of a school setting or where the public school receives 50% funding for the student's attendance or where the public school system, umbrella school, on-line school assigns the grades without parent participation, are not eligible for ESA membership.  (See HSLDA's webpage at www.hslda.org for more information.)

Joanne Juren, National Executive Director

FAQ's 

Is the test score the only membership requirement?

When ESA was formed in 1999, we decided to require just the test score as the one mandatory national membership requirement.  After all, a test score in the 90% or an 1800 on the SAT was an honorable score.  We did not choose to require a certain GPA because "parents give the grades" when a student is home schooled and we wanted to avoid the appearance of students being admitted to ESA with inflated grades given by their parents.

Does ESA's National Chapter maintain membership records?

Our first national charter representative hoped to be able to keep a national registry of all student members.  This has been impossible to do as we do not have the necessary staff to keep this kind of record.  We do keep a registry of all chapters and the active ones are posted to this webpage. 

Does ESA's National Chapter provide by-laws for chapters?

As homeschoolers, we wanted to be "home school friendly" and allow each individual chapter to establish its own by-laws.  The Alpha Chapter gladly shares its by-laws upon request.

Are weekly meetings required?

Some chapters cover an entire state and weekly or even monthly meetings may be impossible.  It is our hope that each chapter will hold meetings on a regular basis as it is one of the goals of the honor society for students to hold offices and learn to work together to promote common goals.  Our Alpha Chapter meets the third Friday of each month.  We have service projects and activities at other times during the months.  One year we did meet twice a month, but because so many of students have to drive in for the meetings, we decided to return to the once a month schedule.  This has worked well for us for the last eight years.

Who is eligible for ESA membership?

Only those students who meet the HSLDA definition of a home schooler are eligible for ESA membership.  This rule states that a student must complete 50% of his/her studies at home under the direct supervision of the parent. Co-op programs, group classes, and even community college courses are acceptable as long as the 50% rule is followed.   Students enrolled in public school programs, charter school programs, full-time college programs, or other programs where more than 50% of the school time is spent in the supervision of a school setting or where the public school receives 50% funding for the student's attendance are not eligible for ESA membership.  (See HSLDA's webpage at www.hslda.org for more information.)

Can ESA Chapters hold fund raisers?

This decision must be made by each local chapter and its sponsoring group.  Our Alpha Chapter has had many fund raisers since its inception.  Much of our fund-raising money has been donated to the San Jacinto Foundation which sponsors a scholarship dedicated to the memory of Laura Kate Smither.  Laura was murdered about 8 years ago and this scholarship, given annually to a home schooled student, helps to keep her memory alive.
