BYU Phi Kappa Phi group named Chapter of Excellence

The National Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi recently recognized the Brigham Young University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi as a Chapter of Excellence, the highest commendation a chapter can receive from the organization. 

The award is given to chapters that excel in recognizing and promoting academic excellence in all fields of higher education and engaging the community of scholars in service to others.

“Those chapters that have earned Chapter of Excellence status are led by committed officers who give generously of their time and talent to honor outstanding students,” said Perry A. Snyder, the society’s executive director. “Officers of award-winning chapters live out their personal commitment to honor and excellence through Phi Kappa Phi.” 

Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. The society has chapters on more than 300 select colleges and universities in North America and the Philippines.
