Honor Society

Phi Beta Kappa

Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest national undergraduate honor society in the United States. The University of Colorado鈥檚 chapter, the first in the state, was founded in 1904, and the first six members were elected and initiated in spring, 1905.

Membership in Phi Beta Kappa is by invitation. At the University of Colorado, invitations are issued twice each year to those undergraduates who meet specified criteria of GPA, undergraduate major in Arts and Sciences, number of credit hours at University of Colorado, and ethical standards. Invitations are normally made in October and February for initiation in December and April each year.
