  • Affirming Our Values

    The Phi Beta Kappa Society stands with those who protest racism, police brutality, and injustice against people and communities of color, especially the Black community. The ideals of liberal arts and sciences education and rigorous scholarship should empower us to face the structures that perpetuate racism, to voice our demands for change, and to hold our democracy to the highest standards.

  • Phi Beta Kappa’s Response to COVID-19

    Phi Beta Kappa has served as a beacon throughout American history, championing enduring values of truth, learning and service since 1776. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is testing our country’s strength — physically, economically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. We are deeply grateful to all of Phi Beta Kappa’s members, volunteers, staff, and friends, each playing a part in responding to this unfolding crisis.
