May 29, 2008Mission Statement
The primary object of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the recognition and promotion of superior scholarship in all fields of higher education. The Society is convinced that in recognizing and honoring those persons of good character who have excelled in scholarship, in whatever field, it will stimulate others to strive for excellence.
Overview
Established in 1897, at the University of Maine, The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is a century-old nonprofit organization dedicated to the recognition and promotion of academic excellence in all disciplines of higher education.
With more than 900,000 members from across the globe and 282 chapters located on university campuses throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, Phi Kappa Phi is one of the oldest and most respected academic honor societies.
Those elected to membership in Phi Kappa Phi include the upper five-percent of last-term juniors and the upper ten-percent of seniors, along with outstanding graduate students, faculty, and alumni.
Membership
Phi Kappa Phi is an honor society, not an honorary society or fraternity. Membership is earned; it is a true honor. Phi Kappa Phi insists upon high quality in the institutions to which it grants chapters, requiring strong faculties and ample libraries. This ensures initiates are entering an organization that expects and promotes excellence.
