Founded in 1923, when the university was still the Oklahoma College for Women, the Hypatia honor society recognizes students who have shown exceptional academic achievements, character, integrity and service to the university and community. Hypatia, a famous Greek mathematician and one of the most renowned female scholars of antiquity, gives the honor society its name.

Faculty, staff and family members gathered to see this year’s students inducted during an awards luncheon. Current officers of Hypatia noted each inductee’s achievements and invited them to sign the membership book, which contains the signatures of every member of the elite honor society since its inception. Each student also received a medal signifying their membership in Hypatia.

A special faculty committee selects students for Hypatia. It is not possible for any student to apply for membership in the honor society and the criteria for entry is not made public. Every inductee has appeared on the USAO Honor Roll and/or the Regents’ Honor Roll for multiple semesters.
