The inductees are Precious Bamidele, Reagan Brookings, Madison Currie (chapter historian), Angelica Flores, Maria Gonzales (chapter secretary), Cung Lian (chapter treasurer), Clayton McLain, Abdullahi Oyeniyi (chapter vice president), Janellie Pallares, Megan Runyan, Ginny Schechter (chapter historian), Sui Tial (chapter president), Ashanti Torres and Jeannine Woolsey.

To be eligible for membership in Sigma Chi Eta Honor Society, students must have a 3.25 GPA in a speech or communications class and an overall 3.0 cumulative GPA.  They must also demonstrate commitment to their community and serving others.

MC Speech & Communication faculty members are Melissa Boyce, Betty Clements (program chair), Dr. Steven Gaines, Debbie Hightower and Dr. Amy Post-McCorkle.  The department is administered by Dr. William Feeler, MC dean of Fine Arts & Communications.

Sigma Chi Eta is the official community college honor society of the National Communication Association (NCA). Since 2000, the honor society has fostered growth in the communication discipline among two-year colleges and universities. Every year, Sigma Chi Eta inducts and rewards new outstanding communication students while exploring options for community college students to transfer to four-year colleges or universities or enter the workforce. The MC Beta Theta Chapter is the only community college Sigma Chi Eta chapter in the state of Texas.
