Phi Beta Kappa

The Fairfield University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa - Zeta of Connecticut - elected 48 new student members. These students join four students who were elected last year as juniors. Students are chosen on the basis of their broad cultural interests, scholarly achievement, and good character. All have demonstrated outstanding work in the liberal arts.

Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest, most prestigious honorary society in the United States. It was founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary to promote learning, morality, and collegiality. For over two hundred years Phi Beta Kappa has encouraged scholarship and a life-long commitment to the liberal arts. Among the members of Phi Beta Kappa have been seventeen United States presidents, dozens of Senators, and men and women in a broad range of professional fields. When the Zeta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was chartered at Fairfield University in 1994, Fairfield joined an elect company of 262 colleges and universities. Nationwide, only one percent of college seniors are invited to join Phi Beta Kappa annually.
