Gamma Theta Upsilon (GTU) is an international honor society in geography. GTU was founded in 1928 and became a national organization in 1931. UNL's Alpha Phi Chapter was established on December 9, 1952 and is represented through the activities of the Geography Student Organization (GSO).  Members of GTU share a career interest in geography and have qualified for membership by achieving excellence in academics.

GTU's goals are:

  1. To further professional interest in Geography by affording a common organization for those interested in the field.

  2. To strengthen student and professional training through academic experiences in addition to those of the classroom and laboratory.

  3. To advance the status of Geography as a cultural and practical discipline for study and investigation.

  4. To encourage student research of high quality, and to promote an outlet for publication.

  5. To create and administer funds for furthering graduate study and/or research in the field of Geography.

  6. To encourage members to apply geographic knowledge and skills in service to humankind.

 

Members of GTU have met academic requirements and share a background and interest in geography. To be eligible, students must complete a minimum of three geography courses with a 3.3 GPA, have a 3.3 GPA overall, and have completed at least three semesters (36 hours) of college course work. Membership forms are sent to eligible students each spring and are inducted during a ceremony held in April.
