Historical Sketch
Since the aim of the educative process is the stimulation of the student toward
the highest level of achievement within his or her capabilities, outstanding
accomplishment should be accorded particular recognition.
In an attempt to provide such recognition, the Alumni Association of the
School of Music at Northwestern University in 1916 appointed a committee to
consider the feasibility of installing an honor society in the field of music.
Serving on the committee were Carl Milton Beecher, Louis Norton Dodge,
and Walter Allen Stults. As a result of their labors, Pi Kappa Lambda was
granted a charter by the State of Illinois in 1918.
The first member was Peter Christian Lutkin, Dean of the School of Music at
Northwestern University. His initials in their Greek equivalents were
selected for the name of the Society: Pi Kappa Lambda. To Dean Lutkin was
issued key number one of the Society.
The course of the organization has been one of continuing expansion.
Election to membership in Pi Kappa Lambda has been indicative of superior
attainment in music, together with the personal qualifications pertaining to
an outstanding exponent of the art.

ORGANIZATION OF PI KAPPA LAMBDA
CHAPTERS
PUBLICATIONS,
COMMISSIONS
The unit of Pi Kappa Lambda is the local
chapter. The national organization consists of an
association of all active chapters of the Society.
CONTESTS,
AND
The Northwestern University Press has published
a series of monographs on American music,
sponsored by Pi Kappa Lambda. The series
includes The Anthem in New England Before
1800, by Ralph T. Daniel of Indiana University;
Andrew Law, American Psalmodist, by Richard
A. Crawford of the University of Michigan; and
Music in the Cultured Generation, A Social
History of Music in America, 1870–1900, by
Joseph A. Musselman of the University of
Montana.
Chapters of this Society may be established in
institutions of higher learning which (1) are
accredited
by
professional
accrediting
associations, (2) maintain curricula with majors
in music, and (3) have been considered by the
officers of the Society as acceptable for the
establishment of a chapter.
GENERAL CONVENTION
The supreme authority of the Society is vested in
a General Convention consisting of the members
of the Board of Regents and delegates selected by
the chapters.
The Society sponsored a national chamber opera
contest in 1960, which was won by Stanford
Beckler for The Outcasts of Poker Flat, based on
Bret Harte's story. It was given its world
premiere at The College of the Pacific.
BOARD OF REGENTS
In 1991, the Board of Regents established a
Regents Composition Commission to be offered
for new chamber works. Cindy McTee of the
University of North Texas presented the first
commissioned work, Eight Études, at the 1991
Atlanta Convention.
Jennifer Higdon's
commissioned chamber work, Autumn Music,
was given its world premiere at the 1995
Convention in Pittsburgh. Peter Hamlin, faculty
member at St. Olaf College, was commissioned
to compose Zydeco Zephyrs for string quartet,
which was given its world premiere at the 1999
Convention in New Orleans. Temple University
faculty member Cynthia Folio’s commissioned
wind quintet, Seven Aphorisms, was given its
world premiere in 2001 in Philadelphia. The
2003 Convention in Evanston, Illinois featured
the string sextet, mirror with(out) reflection by
Lewis Nielson of the Oberlin College
Conservatory of Music. Mark Phillips’
composition Bushwacked! for mixed chamber
ensemble was premiered at the 2006 Convention
in San Antonio. Brooke Joyce of Luther College
was commissioned to compose Three Iowa
Ballads for baritone, viola and percussion for the
2008 Convention in Atlanta. In 2010 Tayloe
Harding’s Profile Variations for mixed quintet
was premiered at the Minneapolis Convention.
See the National Constitution, Article V, Section
1.
NATIONAL INDUCTION FEE
An induction fee is paid to the Executive
Director for each new member.
ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE HONOR
SOCIETIES
Since 1941, the Society of Pi Kappa Lambda has
held full membership in the Association of
College Honor Societies and is represented on
the Executive Council of the Association. An
ACHS Booklet of Information may be obtained
by writing to the Executive Director of Pi Kappa
Lambda. In 2000, at the celebration of the ACHS
75th anniversary, the PKL Board of Regents
designated three key persons who have
profoundly influenced the history of the Society.
The late Walter L. Stults, one of the charter
members; the late Wilbur H. Rowand, secretary–
treasurer for 25 years; and Wilbur D. Fullbright,
long–time ACHS representative and past
president of Pi Kappa Lambda were honored. Dr.
Fullbright was present and accepted his
certificate.

Alumni members are encouraged to participate in
all activities except the election of members,
which is the responsibility of the Faculty
Committee of the chapter. Emeriti do not
participate in such elections.
Alumni and
emeriti, however, are eligible for office at the
discretion of the chapter. Emeriti faculty may be
elected by the chapter where they became
emeritus, even if they are not alumni of that
institution.
KEYS AND CERTIFICATES
In order to protect the design quality and use of
the Pi Kappa Lambda key, the Executive Director
obtains the service of an official jeweler and
checks all orders against the membership records
before authorizing the manufacture and delivery
of keys. Trademark registration is held by the
Board of Regents for the Greek characters
"" used on the Society's emblem. Any
unauthorized manufacture, sale, or use of key or
membership certificate should be reported to the
Executive Director. See page 7 for instructions
regarding the ordering of KEYS AND
CERTIFICATES.
TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP
See Article III, Section 5 of the National
Constitution on page 11. Transfers may be
completed via email.
CERTIFICATES OF HONOR
TYPICAL CHAPTER ACTIVITIES
A Certificate of Honor, authorized by the Board
of Regents, is provided for chapters wishing to
recognize outstanding students in the freshman
and sophomore classes. Certificates may be
awarded to juniors provided there is no election
to membership from that class. The purpose of
this certificate is to bring the standards and
significance of Pi Kappa Lambda membership to
the attention of the students in the lower
divisions. Membership is open only to upper
division students. See National Constitution,
Article III, Section 1 for membership
qualifications.
The nature or frequency of Pi Kappa Lambda
sponsored programs is determined by local
campus needs and conditions. A variety of
activities is, however, either sponsored by the
chapter itself or stimulated and encouraged by its
cooperation with other groups and individuals.
Here is a sampling:
1. Individual recognition through:
a. honors recitals by newly–inducted members
or faculty
b. gifts of recordings or season tickets to
musical performances as recognition for
superior ability in some phase of music
c. public performance of prize–winning
compositions
d. token awards to leading members of each
class
e. prizes to seniors in performance,
composition and creative teaching
2. Financial and academic assistance, such as:
a. payment of induction fees for highest
ranking senior
b. interest–free student loans to help pay
membership fees
c. scholarship aid
d. a tutoring program for music students
(especially under–classmen) staffed and
sponsored by Pi Kappa Lambda members
e. contributions of funds to symphony
orchestras, opera workshops, libraries and
school events
f. establishment of an endowment fund for
scholarships
The certificate of honor measures eight by ten
inches, is printed on heavy–quality stock and is
lettered on white with the embossed key insignia
in gold. The certificates may be purchased plain
or embossed with the student's name, class
(freshman or sophomore), date of presentation
and chapter name. See SUPPLIES, page 7.
FACULTY PARTICIPATION
The Constitution places the responsibility for the
major duties relative to direction and function of
the Society at the chapter level on the faculty
members. They are responsible, as members of
the Faculty Committee, for nominating and
electing candidates in all categories. Active and
continuous faculty affiliation with the local
chapter—including serving as delegates to the
Biennial Convention—greatly increases the
stability and effectiveness of the Society.

TAX INFORMATION
The Society of Pi Kappa Lambda functions under
the Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3), the highest
exemption permissible for a non–profit
organization. The group exemption number for
chapters is 0672. Each chapter is assigned an
employer identification number (EIN) by the IRS

of the chapter. This should be made part of the
permanent file of the chapter treasurer.
NOTE: All questions and correspondence
concerning keys or certificates should be directed
to the Executive Director and not to the official
jeweler.
Supplies
The following supplies may be obtained from the
office of the Executive Director. Remittance

regardless of the type of account the chapter
employs (e.g., student organization account,
institutional account, etc.). IRS Form 990-N is
the form to be filed by May 15 each year. The

January, 2014 – chapter notified of
probationary status, and of consequences of
failure to act within two years
July, 2014 – no report from chapter
July, 2015 – no report from chapter
Nov.–Dec., 2015 – chapter deactivated by
Regents
January, 2016 – chapter notified of
deactivation and of proper procedures for
reactivation
All arrangements for the installation of a chapter
shall be made directly with the President of the
Society
or
the
president’s
designated
representative. The President or the President's
designated representative will preside at the
installation of the chapter (Constitution, Article
II, Section 3). Installation and travel expenses
are the responsibility of the applicant institution.
PROBATION AND DEACTIVATION
The Constitution provides an outline for the
deactivation of a chapter in Article III, Section 3,
based on two criteria: failure to submit an annual
chapter election report to the national office, and
failure to attend the Biennial Convention.
Responsibility
for
decisions
regarding
deactivation rests with the Board of Regents.
Although a chapter has occasionally requested
deactivation, the Regents still must make the
final decision.
REACTIVATION
A plan is now in place which will make it clear
to chapters that the Regents may impose
disciplinary action on a chapter which has
repeatedly failed to submit an annual report
and/or has not attended Biennial Conventions
over a period of time.
I. After a chapter has not sent annual election
reports for two years, the chapter will be
placed on probation. A letter formally
notifying the chapter that it has been placed
on probation and citing Section III below will
be sent to the chapter president and secretary,
the music department chair, and the president
of the university or college.
II. If the chapter does not respond by sending an
annual election report during two years of
probation, that chapter will be deactivated by
the Board of Regents at their next meeting –
with notification to chapter officers, the
department chair, and the university
president. In the event of deactivation, a
reactivation fee will be assessed.
Example:
July, 2012 – no report from chapter
July, 2013 – no report from chapter
November, 2013 – no convention delegate
from chapter
Nov.–Dec., 2013 – Regents place chapter on
probation
EXEMPLARY CHAPTERS
A deactivated chapter may petition for
reactivation of the chapter. Petitions for
reactivation should be sent to the Executive
Director. The Executive Director will submit the
petitions to the Regents for review. If the Regents
review the petition favorably, the chapter will be
reinstated as an active chapter. A $200
reactivation fee will be charged to the chapter.
The Regents, beginning in 1988, have recognized
chapters which reach beyond the mechanics of
timely, accurate reporting and payment of dues
by initiating and maintaining programs which
admirably characterize the goals of Pi Kappa
Lambda and serve as role models for other
chapters. Recipients of this designation receive
certificates, which include their citations.
