Society for Collegiate Journalists

The Society for Collegiate Journalists (SCJ) is an American honor society for student journalists.

It was formed on June 1, 1975 as a merger between the two journalism honor societies Pi Delta Epsilon (ΠΔΕ) and Alpha Phi Gamma (ΑΦΓ).[1]

Many of its activities take place at the chapter level. At the national level, the SCJ runs a biennial national convention and publishes an online journal, The Collegiate Journalist, and a newsletter, The Reporter.
