K-State's Phi Kappa Phi chapter celebrates 100 years, initiates newest members
The Kansas State University chapter of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi celebrated 100 years of the love of learning Nov. 15 in the Alumni Center. Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest and most prestigious all-discipline honor society in the U.S. Membership to Phi Kappa Phi is by invitation only to the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students, and 7.5 percent of juniors. Faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction also qualify.
The centennial celebration was attended by more than 160 people, including 35 of its new initiates. Also celebrated were the chapter's 15 Sophomore Scholars, two Phi Kappa Phi Undergraduate Scholarship winners and three national award winners. Attendees were treated to a banquet-style meal and musical selections played by Rick Smith and Wayne Goins, university distinguished professor of music.
Timothy L. Hulsey, associate provost for honors and scholars programs at the University of Tennessee and national president of Phi Kappa Phi, gave the keynote address, which encouraged both new initiates and long-time members to remember the leaders and scholars who came before when thinking about how things are and how they ought to be in the future. He said, "The goal of a liberal arts education is to produce thinkers who embody the motto of Phi Kappa Phi." That motto is "Let the love of learning rule humanity."
Special guest Dr. Sue Williams, alumni initiate, traveled from Cleveland, Ohio, to celebrate the special occasion.
