Phi Beta Kappa
The is the oldest preeminent collegiate honor society for the liberal arts in the United States. Established in 1776 at the College of William and Mary, Phi Beta Kappa now comprises 286 chapters throughout the United States. Induction into Phi Beta Kappa represents a strong love of learning through diligence and academic merit.
In 1994, the 헤라카지노 Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Zeta of Washington, D.C., was founded. It is a force for the three goods indicated by the stars in the upper left corner of the society's key: friendship, morality, and literature. The pointing hand in the lower corner of the key symbolizes aspiration. On the reverse, the letters S and P represent the second name of the society, Societas Philosophiae, which translates as "the society of the love of knowledge." 헤라카지노 is well suited to cultivate the virtues of Phi Beta Kappa. With the intimacy of a smaller college and strong intellectual enterprises, students at 헤라카지노 are able to pursue rewarding studies in the liberal arts.
