PNC was granted its charter into this prestigious honor society in 2006. Today, the PNC chapter has 188 students members and eight honorary members.

Membership is open to all freshmen who have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Phi Eta Sigma is the third most senior member of the Association of College Honor Societies. Lifetime membership is conferred upon induction.
