History

The National Broadcasting Society – Alpha Epsilon Rho, is a student and
professional society of over eighty-five chapters on college, university,
community college and high school campuses. Through the years,
NBS-AERho has had as its purpose the goal of encouraging and rewarding
scholarship and accomplishment among students of media, to establish
meaningful communication between student and professional broadcasters and
to foster integrity in the use of the powerful instruments of radio, television, film,
cable and its’ many associated businesses and industries. The National
Broadcasting Society – Alpha Epsilon Rho is a reflection of the diverse and
complex industry it serves, as it changes, develops, and expands.

The Society as we know it today had its beginning in the early
1940′s on the campus of Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri.
From a small Radio Honorary Society called Beta Epsilon Phi
in 1941 we have seen many changes in the name of the organization
from Alpha Epsilon Rho – The National Broadcasting Honor Society
to the National Broadcasting Society – Alpha Epsilon Rho. In May 1943,
when it was officially announced that AERho had been organized, there
were four chartered chapters including Stephens College, the University of
Syracuse, Michigan State University and Ohio State University.

By March of 1993, the number has increased to over 120 active
chapters on campuses nationwide. Over 30,000 individuals have
been initiated into the society since its founding.
The future looks very bright for the National Broadcasting Society – Alpha Epsilon Rho!
