Longwood University Mortar Board

Longwood University Mortar Board Oktoberfest 2018 will be the best one yet! Mark your calendars for October 6th! This year is our 13th anniversary as a Mortar Board chapter.

Longwood's Mortar Board Chapter can trace its roots to an honorary fraternity then known as the Joan Circle of Alpha Delta Rho.

Geist is a German word that translates roughly to signify spirit, imagination, intelligence, and soul. These were the original ideals that the women in October 1966 felt exemplified the feelings and purposes of its members. The group's intentions were to comply with the affiliation requirements set by the larger national organization, Mortar Board. Geist adopted the duties of what was then known as Circus, and transformed their greatest event into what we all recognize today as Longwood's Oktoberfest. In 1993, Geist joined the national honorary leadership scholarship and service fraternity, Mortar Board, and became the Geist chapter of Mortar Board. As we can see from our past, this organization has gone through many changes, yet a few things have remained constant: the pursuit of leadership, scholarship, and service. In the past, and hopefully in the future, this will always remain...
