Sigma Alpha, the national Homeschool Honor Society founded in 1999, currently (as of July 2021) has thirteen active local chapters in North Carolina.\u00a0 While each chapter has its own flavor and local requirements, the overarching purpose of membership in the honor society chapters is to recognize and encourage scholarship among homeschooled students.\u00a0 To do this, the honor society chapters provide opportunities for leadership, service, and exposure to qualified speakers on a range of topics.\u00a0 \u00a0Chapters encourage the development of an intellectual climate that will stimulate the exchange of ideas and ideals, foster scholarship, and promote academic excellence.<\/p><p>In general, membership in the chapters is open to 9th-12th grade homeschooled students who:<br \/>Have a standardized test score on one of the following tests:\u00a0 (NOTE:\u00a0 Test scores may be no more than one year old and may NOT have been administered by a family member.\u00a0 Once students qualify for membership, they do not need to re-qualify in subsequent years.)<br \/><strong>Stanford Total Battery: 90%<\/strong><br \/><strong>\u00a0Iowa Composite: 90%<br
