As you may know, Cipactli is the Latinx Honor Society at Penn. We aim to celebrate people who are making a positive impact on the Latinx community at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as the greater Philadelphia area. Our familia is committed to upholding our three pillars: academic achievement, community service, and leadership.
Our Fall recruitment process (which is open to both Juniors and Seniors) is starting next week with the first step: attending one of our two Meet and Greets. The meet and greets will occur on Monday, 9/18 at 7 PM and Tuesday, 9/19 at 8 PM in La Casa Latina. These events are a chance for you to meet current members in a relaxed, informal environment. Those who attend (or reach out to the society board at cipactlilhs@gmail.com stating why they cannot attend either event) will then receive an application that contains more information about the next steps in the process.
In the interest of time, we also would like to let you know that you will need to submit a peer letter of recommendation along with your application. The application and peer letter of recommendation will be due on Friday, 9/22 at 11:59PM. The letter cannot be from any former or current Cipactli member.
Additionally, being that the Meet and Greets are open events, we would also like to encourage you to invite your (Junior and Senior) friends who you think would be interested in the events or society. We hope to see you this upcoming week and look forward to meeting you!
If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
