Welcome
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest, largest, and most
selective all-discipline honor society. Phi Kappa Phi inducts annually
approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff, and alumni. Once
inducted, Phi Kappa Phi members gain a lifelong passport to a global network of
academic and professional opportunities. Since its founding in 1897, more than
1 million members have been initiated. Some of the organization's more notable
members include former President Jimmy Carter, writer John Grisham, NASA
astronaut Wendy Lawrence, and Netscape founder James Barksdale.
Phi Kappa Phi has chapters on more than 300 select college and university
campuses in North America and the Philippines. Membership is by invitation only
to the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students and 7.5 percent of
juniors. Faculty, professional staff, and alumni who have achieved scholarly
distinction also qualify. The Society's mission is "To recognize and promote
academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the
community of scholars in service to others."
