Honor societies have a rich tradition of scholarship and service to our community. They allow students to interact with one another and form relationships with faculty and staff. Activities may include induction ceremonies, service projects, professional development seminars, and meetings regarding the graduate school application process.
Each of these organizations have special entrance requirements, and many require a minimum grade point average or class rank.
Phi Kappa Phi
National Honor Society for All Academic Disciplines
Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society is the nation’s oldest, largest, and most selective honor society for all academic disciplines. Since its founding, Phi Kappa Phi has initiated more than 1 million members into its ranks; all of these members have received emblems and certificates of membership. However, Phi Kappa Phi is much more than an emblem and a line on a resume. It is a global network comprised of the best and brightest from all academic disciplines.
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Each chapter is managed by a team of chapter officers made up of faculty, staff, and student officers who organize activities for members on the campus and in the local community.
