Muhlenberg

Jacob Najarian of Kempton and Weston Conner of Allentown were inducted into Muhlenberg College chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most prestigious honorary society in America.

Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa has celebrated excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and championed freedom of thought since that time.

The standards for an institution to claim a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa are high, and colleges are granted a charter only after a lengthy review process. Only about 10 percent of the nation’s institutions of higher learning have Phi Beta Kappa chapters.

The criteria for membership are strict and are based on national Phi Beta Kappa guidelines.

Students who meet the eligibility requirements, which on average includes 10 percent of all students, will receive a letter of invitation from our chapter sometime early in the final semester of their senior year.
