Phi Beta Kappa
(Philosophia Biou Kubernetes)
"Love of learning is the guide to life."
Phi Beta Kappa was founded on December 5, 1776, by five students at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. For more than 200 years Phi Beta Kappa has been deeply rooted in the freedom of inquiry and freedom of thought and expression. Only about 10 percent of all colleges and universities have been approved to house chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, not to mention that membership in Phi Beta Kappa is for life. Membership to this society is a very significant academic honor and it reflects a strong commitment to the liberal arts and sciences and to freedom of inquiry and expression.
Election to membership of Phi Beta Kappa is wholly within the discretion of the members of the local chapter, subject only to the limitations established by the national Phi Beta Kappa Society. Congratulations to those very honorable individuals elected into Phi Beta Kappa.
