The primary objective of PKL is the recognition and encouragement of the highest level of musical achievement and academic scholarship by recognizing those individuals who have advanced their talents by serious, diligent and intelligent study, thereby setting an example for others to do the same. Consideration for membership in the Delta Rho Chapter at Rowan is based on the following criteria: (1) juniors must be in the upper 10% of their class, seniors must be in the upper 20% of their class, (2) all theory course work must have been completed and (3) scholarly conduct is expected. Graduate students must carry a minimum average of 90 in two-thirds of their course work. The society is governed by the Biennial Convention.
