Alpha Phi Sigma
The Alpha Kappa Omega chapter of the national criminal justice honor society Alpha Phi Sigma was chartered at Texas A&M University-Commerce in 1997. Its purposes are to recognize and promote high scholarship among students actively engaged in collegiate preparation for professional services; to keep abreast of the advances in scientific research; to elevate the ethical standards of the criminal justice profession; and to establish in the public mind the benefit and necessity of education and professional training.
To be eligible to join Alpha Phi Sigma, Criminal Justice majors and minors must have:
- A minimum GPA of 3.2 overall
- A minimum GPA of 3.2 in completed Criminal Justice courses, including transfer credits

Members pay a one-time national membership fee and nominal annual local dues, totaling $40 for the 2008-2009 school year. A certificate and pin are provided to inductees as symbols of the distinction of membership. Honor cords worn at graduation are also available for purchase. Initiation occurs once during the school year during the Spring semester.
