The Phi Beta Kappa Society (ΦΒΚ) is the oldest academic honor society in the United States.[1][2] It was founded at the College of William and Mary in Virginia in December 1776.[3] Phi Beta Kappa aims to promote and advocate excellence in the liberal arts and sciences, and to induct outstanding students of arts and sciences at select American colleges and universities.[4] Since its inception, its inducted members included later 17 United States presidents, 42 United States Supreme Court justices,[5] and 136 Nobel laureates.[6] Phi Beta Kappa (ΦΒΚ) stands for Φιλοσοφία Βίου Κυβερνήτης (Philosophia Biou Kybernētēs), which means "Wisdom [lit. love of knowledge] is the guide [lit. helmsman] of life".[7]
