SEEK students can aspire not only to the awards and honors available to all accomplished City Tech students, but also to induction in Chi Alpha Epsilon (XAE), a national honor society.

Full-time SEEK students who for two consecutive semesters (in which they take no remedial courses) earn a grade point average of 3.0 (or better) are eligible for induction into the college’s Beta Lambda chapter of Chi Alpha Epsilon (XAE), the prestigious national honor society for excellent students who were admitted into their colleges through a higher education opportunity program.

XAE students are inducted into the society in a private ceremony and then are pinned by a significant person in their lives at the Spring Honors Celebration.
