Rho Kappa Student Honor Society

Organization Overview

This is an honor society for the recognition of achievement and excellence in the discipline of social studies at the high school level. This society is open to juniors and seniors who meet the entrance criteria. Although the statewide name of the organization is RHO KAPPA, individual chapters may be established by school districts and/or schools, which may be named after noteworthy contributors in the field of social studies. (See affiliation agreement for details.) Our name, RHO KAPPA, is taken from two words of semitic origin. RHO is derived from “resh” meaning “head” and KAPPA is derived from “kapf” which means “palm of the hand.” Both these terms symbolize our firm belief that knowledge, without service, is useless.
