The Phi Beta Kappa Society
Epsilon Chapter of North Carolina
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
THE PHI BETA KAPPA SOCIETY is the oldest honor society in the United States for undergraduates
in the liberal arts and sciences. Established in 1776 at the College of William and Mary, the
Society has played an important part in the intellectual history of the nation for more than
two hundred years, and has counted among its members leading scholars, justices of the Supreme
Court, business leaders and others. The Society publishes an academic journal, The
American Scholar, which takes its name from the address delivered by Ralph Waldo
Emerson to the Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Harvard University on August 31, 1837.
The North Carolina Epsilon chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro early in 1934.
