The Rho Chi
Society, Pharmacy's academic honor society, encourages and recognizes
excellence in intellectual achievement and fosters fellowship among its
members. Further, the Society encourages high standards of conduct and
character, and advocates critical inquiry in all aspects of pharmacy.
The Alpha Iota Chapter of the Rho Chi Pharmacy Honor Society was
established at MUSC in 1948 to recognize and promote leadership and
academic excellence at MUSC. The local chapter coordinates the
annual College of Pharmacy Career Day.
To be eligible
