Find your Community
Key Connections offers an opportunity for new Phi Beta Kappa Society members to connect with other members across the country. Throughout September and October, our alumni associations will host happy hours, career panels, and other networking events for new members. This is a great opportunity for members to familiarize themselves with their local association and network with other PBK members.
Dates for upcoming association events will be published throughout August and September.
