Phi Beta Kappa Chapter Celebrates Anniversary
A plaque celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Delta Chapter of Missouri Phi Beta Kappa was recently unveiled in Pickler Memorial Library.
The process for installing a Phi Beta Kappa chapter is very rigorous. Only about 10 percent of the nation’s institutions of higher learning have Phi Beta Kappa chapters.
The ideal Phi Beta Kappan has demonstrated intellectual integrity, tolerance for other views and a broad range of academic interests.
Each year, about one college senior in 100, nationwide, is invited to join Phi Beta Kappa.
Membership in Phi Beta Kappa shows commitment to the liberal arts and sciences, and to freedom of inquiry and expression — and it provides a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest undergraduate academic honor society in the liberal arts and sciences. It was founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., and now has a total of 270 chapters.
