About Phi Beta Kappa:

What do six of the current Supreme Court justices, presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr., Condoleeza Rice, James A. Michener, John Updike, Elizabeth Dole, Benazir Bhutto, Stephen Sondheim, Dr. Jonas Salk, poet laureate Rita Dove, and Buffalo Bills coach Marvin Levy have in common?

They are all members of the oldest, most respected honorary society in America: Phi Beta Kappa.

Today the living membership of Phi Beta Kappa amounts to about half a million. Of course, not all of the members are as prominent as those just mentioned, but all members have distinguished themselves academically and received that most coveted of invitations, to join an organization that recognizes and encourages a commitment to excellence in the liberal arts.
