A-12 PERSHING RIFLES

Pershing Rifles (P/R) at Northeastern University is a branch of the National Society of Pershing Rifles, a tri-service, co-ed military honorary society which draws from ROTC units around the country... A Company, 12th Regiment, Pershing Rifles is built around military proficiency, scholarship, leadership, and a very strong esprit de corps. Members of A-12 are leaders in their respective ROTC units, and are often seen as role models by other cadets. Potential new members are inducted into A-12 through a challenging Candidate Term, which lasts approximately two months. They undertake a rigorous physical training program, consisting of calisthenics, running, and weight training, and to ensure that academic success remains a priority, candidates attend study halls moderated by members with past experience in their fields of study at Northeastern University.
