List of Pershing Rifles units
Pershing Rifles is a military-oriented honor society for college-level students. Its units (chapters) are organized like the military, with regiments and companies. Most of its units went dormant between 1943 and 1946 because of World War II. Over time, some company numbers were used by more than one university or college. In the following list, active units are indicated in bold and inactive units are shown in italics.[1]
Regimental headquarters
By tradition, the National Headquarters is at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. However, the current national staff is selected from across the society, and staff members may be from several different Pershing Rifles units.
