Kappa Mu Epsilon
KME is a nationally recognized honors society. KME was granted membership into the Association of College Honor Societies in 1968.
The Louisiana Delta Chapter was established at ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ in 2001. Membership in KME is viewed
highly by employers, as well as professional and graduate schools.
The primary purposes of being a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon include the following:
- to further the interests of mathematics;
- to help students realize the important role that mathematics has played in the development
of civilization;
- to develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due,
mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought;
- to provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of
mathematics;
- to disseminate the knowledge of mathematics and familiarize its members with the current
progress in this important area of human interest.
