Phi Beta Kappa at TCU

For fifty years, TCU has been among the elite 10 percent of American universities that meet the rigorous academic standards required to have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter.

Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious academic honor society. Its motto, “love of learning is the guide of life,” perfectly expresses TCU’s commitment to a quality liberal arts education and dedication to a lifetime of enquiry. In 1971 our chapter— Delta of Texas — became the fourth chapter granted in the state.
