Ninety-four members of the class of 2017 were elected to the University’s Phi Beta Kappa Society April 26, wrote Chapter Administrator Mary Jo Foley in an email to The Herald.
The University’s Rhode Island Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is the seventh oldest out of 286 chapters in the nation, Foley wrote. Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest academic honors organization in the United States.
