WHEREAS, Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society, was founded in 1920 at The University of Texas at Austin, and since that time it has fostered outstanding programs and events of value for our nation's brightest students of government, public policy, and political science; and WHEREAS, The success of the first chapter in Austin led other universities across the United States to apply for chapters; today, there are more than 460 chapters of Pi Sigma Alpha in the United States, and the founding chapter in Austin, which has been honored in the past as the society's best chapter, remains a leader in Pi Sigma Alpha activities; and WHEREAS, In the 83 years since its inception, Pi Sigma Alpha has never wavered in its goal to stimulate scholarship and intelligent interest in political science, and the honor society has distinguished itself as an important advocate for preserving our nation's long history of successful participatory democracy; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas Legislature hereby commend the officers, members, and alumni of the Pi Sigma Alpha chapter at The University of Texas at Austin and extend to them warmest best wishes for continued success in their scholastic and professional endeavors; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Pi Sigma Alpha as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
