MEMBERS
Every semester the chapter gets a list of candidates eligible to join HKN. They will be sent an email at the beginning of the semester. If the candidate fulfills the requirements he or she is required to attend an induction ceremony and is then formally invited to join the chapter.
ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility to join HKN is defined, based on year, as follows:
Sophomore Undergraduate Students
The top fifth of the sophomore class (having completed one-fourth of the degree requirements) are invited to be inducted.
Junior Undergraduate Students
The top quarter of the junior class (having completed one-half of the degree requirements) are invited to be inducted.
