Clemson Chapter History
Clemson University counts itself among the 276 colleges and universities with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter, representing only 10 percent of the nation's institutions of higher learning. With this chapter, Clemson University has met another of President Barker's 10-year goals.
To hold a chapter, a college or university must have Phi Beta Kappa representation in 10 percent of its liberal arts and sciences faculty. The national organization conducts a three-year review, in which faculty credentials and student achievements are analyzed, in addition to a detailed campus visit.
