Phi Beta Kappa is the country's oldest and one of the most prestigious academic honor societies. The society supports and honors excellence in the humanities, sciences and social sciences. Only about 10% of the nation's colleges and universities host a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and only about 10% of students graduating from those schools are invited to become members. To receive an invitation, students must have a high GPA and demonstrate depth and breadth in the liberal arts and sciences.
