Forty-seven Lafayette students have been invited this spring to join The Phi Beta Kappa society, the oldest and most respected undergraduate honors organization in the United States. Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa fosters and recognizes excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Outstanding students from all curricula are eligible for election as juniors or seniors.
The new members include 28 seniors and 19 juniors. This brings to 59 the total number of Lafayette students in Phi Beta Kappa, including a dozen current seniors who were inducted as juniors last spring.
(Note: Marquis Scholars, selected from among Lafayette’s most-promising applicants, receive a special financial-aid award and other important benefits.)
