selected for membership in the Rutgers chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the
oldest and most prestigious liberal arts honorary society in the United
States. The organization was founded in 1776 at the College of William
and Mary in Virginia. The Alpha chapter in the state of New Jersey was
established at Rutgers College in 1869. Each spring semester, Phi Beta
Kappa invites to membership in the society outstanding juniors and
seniors who are liberal arts majors. All liberal arts majors must have
an outstanding academic record (a GPA of 3.5 if seniors, 3.8 if
juniors) and have taken a year of foreign language at the intermediate
level. However, for election to Phi Beta Kappa, there is not a simple
checklist of requirements. Generally, in addition to high academic
standing, students must have completed a significant number of credits
at Rutgers (the numbers vary depending on academic status and whether
one has transferred), have demonstrated success broadly across the
liberal arts, have taken a foreign language at least through the
intermediate level, and be enrolled in a curriculum that is not
predominantly professional training.
