Phi Kappa Phi honor society marks 100 years at FSU
The oldest academic honor society at Florida State University celebrated the chapter’s 100-year anniversary during its annual initiation ceremony.
The FSU chapter of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society recognized the century-marking milestone during its yearly initiation ceremony on April 9 at the Grand Ballroom in the FSU Alumni Center.
“Phi Kappa Phi’s motto — ‘Let the love of learning rule humanity’— beautifully captures the spirit of this occasion and the values that unite us tonight,” FSU Provost Jim Clark said at the event. “It is that love of learning that has guided our initiates through challenges, fueled their accomplishments, and brought you here today.”
In 1925, Phi Kappa Phi was the first honor society established at FSU – known then as the Florida State College for Women – and the first chapter of that honor society in the state of Florida.
The honor society includes students from all academic disciplines, at all FSU campuses and at any level from undergraduate to doctoral studies. Founded at the University of Maine in 1897, Phi Kappa Phi initiates around 20,000 members a year on more than 300 campuses across the U.S. and its territories.
