The Phi Beta Kappa Society

Join our member-exclusive LinkedIn Group: Since our founding in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa has championed education in the liberal arts and sciences, fostered freedom of thought, and recognized academic excellence. As America’s most prestigious academic honor society, we believe the curiosity and creativity cultivated by a liberal arts and sciences education are essential to making the most of life’s experiences. This is why we:* Honor the best and brightest liberal arts and sciences undergraduates from 286 top schools across the nation through a highly selective, merit-based invitation process.* Advocate for the importance of liberal arts and sciences education through our National Arts & Sciences Initiative, and equip members with information and tools to thoughtfully engage in American society as leaders, volunteers, and citizens.* Connect members to a diverse network of high achievers, and provide opportunities to participate in engaging events offered by the national office, our local chapters, and alumni associations.* Engage members with quarterly publications, monthly newsletters, and podcasts, providing perspectives on public affairs, literature, science, history, culture, and career development.* Recognize the exceptional achievement of writers and scholars in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics.
