The Georgia Tech chapter of Sigma Gamma Tau, the honor society for aerospace engineers, inducted 20 new members during ceremonies held at the Bill Moore Student Success Center on November 5.

The induction brings to 70 the number of SGT members in the Georgia Tech chapter, said Chapter President Swapnil Pujari.

To qualify for induction, sophomores must be academically ranked in the top 20 percent of their class. Juniors and seniors must be ranked in the top 25 and top 33 percent, respectively.

The group also organizes and hosts the annual Senior Banquet, which last year featured an inspirational talk by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. The group regularly sponsors free tutoring for fellow underclassmen.
