Phi Beta Kappa

About

The Phi Beta Kappa (ΦΒΚ) Society is the oldest academic honor society for the liberal arts and sciences in the United States, founded in 1776. Selection for membership in Phi Beta Kappa is one of the highest honors an undergraduate can achieve. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa remains one of the few nationally, and internationally, recognized marks of scholastic attainment. Phi Beta Kappa aims to promote and advocate excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and to induct only the most outstanding students in the arts and sciences.
