Phi Kappa Phi is an official honor society of Marshall University. Each year, we invite some of the most distinguished undergraduate and graduate students to become Phi Kappa Phi members. Phi Kappa Phi membership is earned, and admission is invitation-only though nominations from the Marshall University chapter. The Marshall University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi was approved by Marshall Board of Directors in 2010 and is an official organization of the university.
About Phi Kappa Phi
Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest and most selective multidisciplinary collegiate honor society. The sociery initiates more than 30,000 members a year on 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines.
More than 1.5 million members have joined its ranks since Phi Kappa Phi’s founding in 1897 at the University of Maine. It is a global network of the best and brightest, a community of scholars and professionals building an enduring legacy for all generations.
Phi Kappa Phi has awarded approximately $12.7 million since the inception of its awards program in 1932. Today, more than $800,000 is awarded annually to qualifying members and non-members through graduate fellowships, undergraduate study abroad scholarships, member and chapter awards and grants for local and national literacy initiatives. The society’s mission is “to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”
