Our certificates are printed on high-quality certificate paper and will be sent within 5 business days of the order. We do not keep all certificates "on-file", so any replacements would be ordered separately. A digital version allows you to archive your inductees.

Epsilon Phi Delta is the only official national academic honor society for German Studies serving the community or junior college institutions. Only students inducted through their institution and through the AATG may use the designation "National Academic Honors in German". Membership is granted in perpetuity through a one-time induction fee. Students who have not been inducted through the official process at AATG are not recognized as members of Epsilon Phi Delta and thus ineligible to apply to scholarships reserved for Honor Society students, such as the Delta Phi Alpha National Award for Undergraduate Students of German.
As a friendly reminder, any unauthorized reproduction of Epsilon Phi Delta materials, such as chapter charters and membership certificates, is considered fraudulent. Please note that AATG receives requests for verification of membership from various sources and in these cases, we will inform schools, administrators, students, parents, and college admission offices that the student is not a legitimate member of The National German Honor Society. We always want to avoid those situations.
