Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU)
Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU)
Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU) is an international honor society in geography. Gamma Theta Upsilon was founded in
1928 and became a national organization in 1931. Members of GTU have met academic
requirements and share a background and interest in geography. GTU chapter activities
support geography knowledge and awareness.
Gamma Theta Upsilon membership is earned through superior scholarship; it is an honor,
and a professional distinction. Lifetime membership is $40. Members receive a handsome
certificate, suitable for framing. No further membership dues are paid to the national
organization after the initiation fee.
To be inducted, initiates must have completed a minimum of three geography courses,
have a GPA of at least 3.3 in those courses, rank in the top 35% of their class, and
have completed at least three semesters or five quarters of college course work.
