The best news of the month (and possibly year so far)

I received this letter in the mail today from the Department of Sociology at Roosevelt:

"Dear me (insert my name here),

I am writing to inform you that you have qualified for membership in Alpha Kappa Delta, the International Sociology Honor Society. Congratulations. You should feel proud of your academic accomplishments to this point. Your work at Roosevelt University has earned you the right to be a member of this prestigious honor society.

As Roosevelt's AKD Chapter representative, I strongly encourage you to join AKD as a formal recognition of your accomplishments (website info here). We will hold our initiation ceremony in early April.

(info about cost). This fee includes a one-year subscription to Sociological Inquiry, the official journal of AKD, a Certificate of Induction, and an honor cord to be worn at graduation.

(more technical stuff)

Again, congratulations on qualifying for membership in AKD"
