Initiation Ceremony

There is no application process. Students who meet the eligibility requirements are invited to join and are formally admitted to the chapter only after they are initiated in a formal College of Wooster ceremony (held every year before Commencement). Only students who have registered with the national organization and paid the one-time membership dues will be initiated. The 2023 Initiation Ceremony will be held the morning of Commencement on Saturday, May 13, 2023.

Fees

There currently is a one-time $100 fee to join Phi Beta Kappa. Kappa of Ohio collects $15 of the fee and spends $7.50 to cover the cost of the Phi Beta Kappa certificate presented during the initiation ceremony. The remaining $7.50 goes into the treasury to cover Kappa of Ohio’s annual Phi Beta Kappa prize which awards a total of $300. Financial assistance may be available for those elected students who qualify.
