Historical Note
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, or Phi Kappa Phi (ΦΚΦ), is one of the oldest honors
societies, being establishedin 1897. The name, Phi Kappa Phi,came from the Greek words,
Philosophìa Ktateìto Photôn, meaning “Let the love of learning rule humanity.” This
honor society had established a different kind of organization, where the emphasis was
put on excellence in various academic disciplines. Its aim was not to undermine the
earlier honor societies of the late 1800s, but to further promote the value of
education. In respect to this,the early leadership in the society had consideration
towards establishing a sense of high rank made up of many different classes and groups.
In addition, its members and chapters range from the United States to other countries as
well.
Over the years, Phi Kappa Phi has given the academic opportunity to attend Universities
and colleges to many students for scholastic merit. These awards include scholarships,
study abroad grants, and artistic awards. Currently, the Honors Society gives $1 million
in grants and awards each biennium. The University of Arizona chapter was founded on May
31, 1916, being the 15th chapter.
