The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi
Phi Kappa Phi (PKP) is a national honorary organization founded
at the University of Maine in 1897. The Society's mission is
"To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of
higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service
to others." Phi Kappa Phi is the nation's oldest collegiate
honor society for all academic disciplines with more than 300

Greek words forming its adopted motto: Philosophìa Krateìto
Photôn, "Let the love of learning rule humanity."
