The National Honor Society for First-Generation College Students<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alpha Alpha Alpha, or Tri-Alpha, was founded March 24, 2018 at Moravian University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with over 100 members of the Alpha Chapter initiated that day, including undergraduate students, faculty, staff, alumni, and honorary members.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Following the successful induction, the college took steps to incorporate Alpha Alpha Alpha so that chapters could be started on other campuses across the country. Tri-Alpha exists as a not-for-profit (501(c)3) organization created to recognize academic achievements, promote leadership and provide support networks for First-Generation College Students.<\/p>\n

The Delta Chi Chapter of Alpha Alpha Alpha at Montclair State University was founded by Natalie Lopez, Academic Program Coordinator for University College, along with the First-Generation Initiatives Committee in Fall 2021.<\/p>\n

We encourage all First-Gen Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni to apply. A person is eligible if neither parent nor guardian earned a bachelor’s degree prior to the student.<\/p>\n
