Phi Beta Kappa, national
honorary scholarship fraternity, established the Beta of Alabama
Chapter at Birmingham Southern College in 1937. Election to
Phi Beta Kappa is based on scholarly achievement in a broad
program of intellectual interest within the context of a liberal
education. High grades alone, particularly if earned in a
narrowly conceived vocational or pre professional program,
are not sufficient reason for election. Students are elected
by the resident members of Phi Beta Kappa after a careful
analysis of grades and course distribution.
Candidates for election must be
pursuing a liberal arts degree of adequate breadth; candidates
for degrees other than Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
are considered only if they have fulfilled the general program
for the liberal arts degree. Election is limited to those
students who will complete degree requirements by the June
following election. At no time may Phi Beta Kappa elect more
than ten percent of the graduating class to membership; students
with less than a 3.40 grade point average may not be considered
for membership, although the criteria for election are somewhat
different for transfer students.
