Mu Kappa Tau, the National Honor Society for Marketers

Founded in 1966 by Pi Sigma Epsilon, the national fraternity in marketing, sales management and selling, Mu Kappa Tau is recognized as the national marketing honor society. Mu Kappa Tau draws together dynamic students, educators and professionals who share high aspirations, mutual interest, and dedication to the marketing field. Mu Kappa Tau invites as members those who have attained academic excellence and/or have made significant contributions to marketing education or the profession.

Eligibility Requirements

Similar to most honor societies, membership in Mu Kappa Tau is by invitation from the School of Business marketing faculty. Mu Kappa Tau membership at Rutgers University-Camden is limited to students, majoring or concentrating in Marketing, who meet exceptional academic requirements. Membership invitations are considered for undergraduate Marketing majors with 90 or more credits and MBA Marketing concentrators with 30 or more credits. Invitations are extended to students who have achieved an overall cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25 on a 4.00 scale, a ranking in the top 20% of their class, and outstanding academic achievement in Marketing as determined by the faculty.

Membership Fee

Mu Kappa Tau is a non-profit organization requiring a one-time membership fee. The $40 fee entitles members to life membership in Mu Kappa Tau.

Invitations to Join and Initiation in Mu Kappa Tau

Invitations are extended during the Spring semester. Students who accept the invitation are inducted into Mu Kappa Tau at the Spring Honors Ceremony, hosted by the School of Business-Camden in April. At that time, each Mu Kappa Tau member will be presented with a Certificate of Membership as well as an Honor Cord. This Cord should be worn at graduation to indicate high academic achievement and membership in Mu Kappa Tau. Upon induction through the School of Business ceremony, individuals become official members of the national chapter of Mu Kappa Tau.
