WAVERLY, IOWA (October 3, 2019) — Trinity Borland of Bettendorf is one of 53 Wartburg College students recently inducted into the Phi Eta Sigma honor society.
Phi Eta Sigma is the oldest and largest freshman honor-society. A student must achieve a cumulative grade-point-average of at least 3.5 and be in the top 20-percent of their class by the end of the first year.
Wartburg College's Phi Eta Sigma members have the opportunity to win additional scholarships through the honor society as well as participate in a variety of social and service events on campus.
Wartburg, a four-year liberal-arts college internationally-recognized for community engagement, enrolls 1,505 students. Wartburg is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and named after the castle in Germany where Martin Luther took refuge, disguised as a knight, during the stormy days of the Reformation while translating the Bible from Greek into German.
