Congratulations to Newly Inducted Phi Kappa Phi Members

The University Scholars Program would like to extend congratulations to our students that have recently been inducted into Phi Kappa Phi, the prestigious national honor society. Phi Kappa Phi was started in 1897, 10 senior students, 2 faculty members and the University of Maine president created a new kind of honor society, one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines.

Under the leadership of student Marcus L. Urann, the group formed the Lambda Sigma Eta Society, later renamed Phi Kappa Phi from the letters of the Greek words forming its motto, Philosophía Krateítõ Phõtôn, “Let the love of learning rule humanity.”

Today, Phi Kappa Phi recognizes and promotes academic excellence in all fields of higher education and engages the community of scholars in service to others.  (from the Phi Kappa Phi website.)
