About Phi Kappa Phi

Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest and most selective honor society in the United States that recognizes excellence in all academic disciplines. Founded in 1897, Phi Kappa Phi is a charter member of the Association of College Honor Societies. Today, Phi Kappa Phi has more than one million members in all parts of the world. There are nearly 300 chapters at colleges and universities in the United States, Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

The name Phi Kappa Phi is drawn from the Society’s motto, Philosophia Krateito Photon, which is freely translated, “Let the love of learning rule humanity.”

The Clemson University Chapter 49 of Phi Kappa Phi was established in 1938.
