The Honor Society Phi Beta Kappa was founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary. Since then, Phi Beta Kappa has evolved to become the nation's leading advocate for the liberal arts and sciences at the undergraduate level.

Phi Beta Kappa elects over 15,000 new members a year from 270 chapters across the United States.

The website for the Davis chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is at http://hector.ucdavis.edu/pbk/

Phi Beta Kappa has over 50 associations - groups made up of Phi Beta Kappa members - in cities across the U.S. They support the ideals of the Society through academic, social, and community-based programs.

The Society's distinctive emblem, a golden key, is widely recognized as a symbol of academic achievement.
