Drake is among a small group of colleges and universities that offer a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national honors society for arts and sciences. The society works to champion education, foster freedom of thought, and recognize academic excellence. Are you interested in helping Phi Beta Kappa at Drake thrive? Were you inducted to Phi Beta Kappa at your undergraduate institution? If you answered yes to either of these questions, please email your contact details and direct any questions to Maura Lyons at maura.lyons@drake.edu. We are looking for members to take part in the important task of reviewing eligible student candidates in the spring and be part of efforts to increase the chapter’s visibility and activities on campus.
