The Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) is the leading certifying agency for college and university honor societies. With a rich history dating back to 1925, ACHS plays a vital role in recognizing, encouraging, and honoring students who have achieved academic excellence. Unlike professional and social organizations, ACHS focuses on serving academic honor societies that span various disciplines and majors.

ACHS is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility within its certified academic honor societies through policies, programs, and initiatives. The association certifies 67 honor societies, all of which are searchable on their website. ACHS upholds high standards and defines the honor society movement by developing criteria for judging credibility and legitimacy.

They operate in compliance with the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) standard for College Honor Society Programs. By joining an ACHS-certified honor society, students achieve a notable academic milestone and become part of a community of high-achieving scholars. ACHS is immensely proud of its member societies, which recognize and celebrate the scholarship and service achievements of their students and alumni.
