Alpha Phi Sigma is the only criminal justice honor society for criminal justice majors. It is recognized by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences as the only official criminal justice honor society in the United States. Alpha Phi Sigma is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, and has more than 360 chapters across the country. The U.S. government and specifically the U.S. Department of Justice recognizes membership in Alpha Phi Sigma as meeting one of the requirements for entrance at the GS-7 level in Federal Service.
Inductions are held each semester. To be eligible, the criminal justice major or minor must have completed 36 semester hours, 12 semester hours of which must be in criminal justice courses.
