2013 Phi Beta Kappa initiates chosen

The University of Wisconsin–Madison recently announced the 2013 initiates for the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society. These high-achieving students took the honorable oath for induction into Phi Beta Kappa on April 13, under the guidance of the organization’s president, philosophy Professor Lawrence Shapiro.

Undergraduate members of the Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa are elected in their junior or senior years upon recommendation of the Membership Committee. Initiates must have an outstanding academic achievement record and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.75 for seniors, or 3.9 for juniors.

Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society. The main function of Phi Beta Kappa at UW–Madison is to honor undergraduates for outstanding scholarly achievement. The Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at UW–Madison traditionally invites no more than three or four percent of the University’s bachelor’s degree candidates to join.
