Eligible students may be inducted into their local middle school or junior high school Jr. ΔΕΦ chapter upon registration and payment of induction fees. The Induction Fee includes lifetime membership and the official Jr. ΔΕΦ Membership Certificate. The Delta Epsilon Phi Induction Fee must be paid for each student inducted. We are now offering digital-only certificate option produced with student name, chapter, school, and for the first time, a unique member roll number for membership tracking. Digital certificates will be emailed as .pdf files to the registered advisor within 5 business days and can be printed at your convenience. 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. Physical Certificates receive a Membership Card at no cost, however they can be purchased at any time to provide with digitally provided certificates.
Please Note: Please complete this form to register inductees. Induction and registration can only be processed after receipt of student names and induction fees. Do not add multiple names in to order notes.
Delta Epsilon Phi is the only official national academic honor society for German Studies serving secondary schools, including Junior High or Middle Schools. 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 Delta Epsilon Phi.
As a friendly reminder, any unauthorized reproduction of Delta Epsilon Phi 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.
