Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization. Only 290 colleges and universities in the United States are sufficiently rigorous and intellectually challenging to host a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Every three years, the Society’s governing body considers applications from institutions desiring to establish chapters, and a handful of the best are usually approved at each triennial Council. To learn more about the history of the national organization, so our History of Phi Beta Kappa page.
