Garrett Maund of Ozark, Ala., has been inducted into the Iota Mu Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the international honor society for history, at Troy University.

Phi Alpha Theta was organized at the University of Arkansas in 1921. Today it claims more than 900 chapters and 350,000 members. The honor society hosts 35 regional meetings each year, publishes a well-respected academic journal, and offers scholarships and prizes to its members. Membership is open to non-history majors as well as history majors who maintain at least a 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.1 GPA in history courses.

Troy University's Iota Mu Chapter dates from August 1, 1964.
