Induction
At induction, the SHF history is usually read, culminating with the lighting of candles. Each student holds a candle, and the student next to him or her recites the motto, Avoir une autre langue, c'est posséder une deuxième âme, which means To have another language is to have a second soul. All the members are considered inducted when the last candle is lit.
Duties
Community service is mandatory for the organization, as well as a high-grade point average overall (at least a B average in all other courses), in addition to an A in French classes during the semester of selection.[1]
