Phi Beta Kappa Honors

"Philosophia biou kubernetes" "Love of wisdom, the guide of life." Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation's oldest academic honor society. Its mission is to foster and recognize excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Students are elected to Phi Beta Kappa as seniors (a small number may be elected as juniors) based on scholarly achievement, broad cultural interest and good character. Members of the Willamette University chapter, Delta of Oregon, base selection largely on an adjusted GPA, considering also departmental recommendations and academic honors. Membership is by invitation only.
