- Standards for election are extremely high. Membership is by invitation only to the top 7.5 percent of juniors and the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students. Because Phi Kappa Phi is highly selective, membership is a stamp of excellence that is recognized by graduate and professional school admissions committees and employers alike.
- Unlike other honor societies whose undergraduate members may include freshmen and sophomores, Phi Kappa Phi celebrates upperclassmen and graduate students who prove to be strong scholars throughout their academic careers.
- Membership in Phi Kappa Phi recognizes and rewards academic success. New members are initiated at a ceremony and reception/banquet held on their campus. They receive a personalized membership certificate and card and are presented with the official Phi Kappa Phi pin at the initiation ceremony. Personalized press releases announcing membership also are available.
- Phi Kappa Phi logo graphics and verification letters are available to enhance your résumé. While Phi Kappa Phi is much more than a line on a résumé, it is an impressive line none-the-less. When it’s time to apply for a job, a scholarship, or a graduate program, our materials will help you highlight your membership in the nation’s oldest, largest, and most selective all-discipline honor society.
- Phi Kappa Phi members are eligible to apply for numerous Scholarships and Awards, valued at more than $1,000,000 annually. The Society’s extensive award programs provide everything from $35,000 Fellowships for graduate school to $500 Love of Learning grants for continuing education and professional development.
- Phi Kappa Phi corporate partners provide discounts to members. By partnering with companies such as Apple, Dell, T-Mobile and Liberty Mutual, Phi Kappa Phi is able to offer valuable discounts and services to its members, often at negotiated savings.
