Phi Beta Kappa Awards

Since 1776, election to Phi Beta Kappa has been recognized as a distinct honor to those who meet the highest standards of achievement in the study of the liberal arts. The Epsilon Chapter at Trinity College, chartered in 1971, annually elects eligible juniors and seniors to membership based on their fulfillment of the requirements established by the Chapter and by Phi Beta Kappa.

Members-in-course are elected on the basis of scholarly achievement, broad intellectual interests, and good character. To be elected as a junior, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 in at least 75 credits of course work in the liberal arts, 45 of which must have been in residence at Trinity College. To be elected as a senior, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 in at least 90 hours of course work in the liberal arts, 45 of which must have been in residence at Trinity College. All students must have demonstrated knowledge in mathematics and of a second language as appropriate to an education in the liberal arts. Course work in applied or professional studies and grades earned in such work cannot be counted toward the hours required in the liberal arts. All students must be nominated by a member of the faculty in order to be considered for election. The number of graduates elected to Phi Beta Kappa from any class may never exceed 15% of the number of students receiving diplomas.
