The Alpha Nu Chaper of Pi Sigma Alpha was founded at Denison University on November 5, 1947. Students are selected as members based on their academic excellence in the field of political science.

Members of the Alpha Nu chapter provide opportunities for faculty and fellow students to interact outside the classroom, serve as role models and mentors to other students of political science, and strive to foster the high ideals of academic excellence in political science and every area of study.

Professor Jim Pletcher serves as Advisor for the Denison chapter.
