Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Delta of Missouri chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri.

Truman is the fourth campus in the state to have received a charter, and 30 years had elapsed since a chapter had been granted to a Missouri institution. Truman is only the second public Missouri university so honored and joins Phi Beta Kappa ranks with the University of Missouri-Columbia, Washington University in St. Louis and Saint Louis University.

Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest undergraduate academic honor society in the liberal arts and sciences. It was founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA and now has a total of 270 chapters.

Here is information about eligibility for membership in Phi Beta Kappa.

Remarks by our Presidents on the value of the liberal arts and sciences are provided at The Value of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
