I joined in 2015 through the National Chapter which was at St. John’s University in New York.
The challenge coin is high quality.

I meant: that is no problem for admission to this society? There is no residency requirement?

Do you have a degree plan from the Big 3 with over 50% of the credits completed as the website says? You will submit your Big 3 transcript to them. What is your major? What college? TECU students will most likely have to go through TESU's chapter.

I saw it before and assumed it was only for students who actually completed by TESU courses. I was wrong. I don't have such credits.

I joined through the professional membership channel in 2018. Although I was with AMU at the time and had the GPA to go the academic route as well.
