Brief History
of
Phi Beta Kappa
Phi Beta Kappa is the nation's oldest honorary society, founded
in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg,
Virginia. Election to Phi Beta Kappa is a recognition of academic
achievement, especially in the acquiring of an education in the
liberal arts and sciences. The Greek letters Phi Beta Kappa are the
first letters of the motto -- Philosophiae Biou Kubernetes -- which
translates to:
"The love of wisdom
--
The
inspiration of life"
