The National Slavic Honorary Dobro Slovo

Dobro Slovo is the National Slavic Honorary.  To become members students must complete four semesters of Russian language courses and one semester of any advanced course related to Russian civilization. This latter course may be literature or civilization, but must be completed in a Russian academic department.  To be eligible students must complete a 3.5 average in these courses. They also are required to have an overall 3.0 average.

The National Level (from http://slavic.ohio-state.edu/dobroslo.htm)

Each year the local chapters of Dobro Slovo induct new members. After paying the national dues ($15) and any applicable local chapter dues (at OSU, $10 for faculty, $5 for students annually), these members are presented with a certificate, membership card, and a Dobro Slovo key (lapel pin). Once inducted one is a member for life, with no further obligations to the national committee; all further contact members have is usually with a local chapter. In this sense, Dobro Slovo is like many national honor societies whose purpose is to recognize and promote academic achievement.
