"We build leaders who make the world better." 

The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), also known as Sigma Alpha Pi, is a nationally recognized organization.  The UMSL NSLS Chapter was founded in 2011 to help students create the success they want through reflection and self-exploration; and by providing students with tools for action, accountability, and the motovation to achieive their goals. 

The Society provides a step-by-step program for members to build their leadership skills through participation in the UMSL chapter.  Upon completion of the program, members receive their leadership certificate and take their place among the top student leaders at UMSL and across the country.   


Students are selected and invited to join the Society based on credit hours and academic standing.  Invitations are sent out bi-annually with a nomination code to enter at the Society's National Webpage and pay the one-time $85 registration fee. The fee includes all membership benefits, partner discounts and a lifetime membership. Membership does not expire or need renewing. 

Didn't recieve an invitation in the mail at the beginning of the semester? Apply for nomination.
