History

In 1985, delegates to the assembly of the International Reading Association (now International Literacy Association) agreed to form Alpha Upsilon Alpha.[1] Its first seven chapters were approved a year later at the International Reading Association's convention in April 1986.[1] The first chapter was chartered at the University of Northern Iowa.[2][3]

Alpha Upsilon Alpha was established as an honor society that recognizes excellence in reading and language arts by undergraduate and graduate students.[1][2] It also develops personal and professional leadership skills, promotes literacy and encourages community service related to reading.[4][5]

It is governed by the International Literacy Association which is headquartered in Newark, Delawrare.[6]

Symbols

The Greek letters Alpha Upsilon Alpha were selected to stand for Anagnosis (reading); Upotrophia {scholarship, and Archon (leadership).[5][6][7]

Alpha Upsilon Alpha's motto is Script error: No such module "Lang". which translates as "Read, dare to be wise."[8][5] Its colors are gold and silver. Members may wear honor cords that are gold and silver at graduation.[9]

There are five categories of membership in Alpha Upsilon Alpha: undergraduate, graduate, faculty, professional, and honorary.[4][1] Members are selected for their scholarship, leadership, and service in reading.[2]

Undergraduate members must have finished five semesters or 76 credit hours and be in the top 25 percent of their class.[10][11] Graduate members must be majoring in reading or language arts and have finished at least nine credit hours with a 3.5 GPA or higher.[10][12]

Faculty members need to be active in reading or the language arts as an academic subject and either have a doctoral degree or meet the graduate-level membership GPA requirement during their Master's degree work. Professional members, such as elementary and secondary school teachers, must meet the requirements for members based on their level of education. Chapters can also select honorary members.
