Following discussion with UMaine president A.W. Harris and several professors, Lambda Sigma Eta was created.<\/p>\n<p>In 1899, the name was changed to the Morrill Society, in honor of the U.S. Sen. Justin Smith Morrill who sponsored the Morrill Act which was signed into law by Abraham Lincoln in 1862, and established federal funding for higher education in every state across the country.<\/p>\n<p>In 1900, the society expanded to other campuses and adopted its present name, Phi Kappa Phi.<\/p>\n<p>Phi Kappa Phi now has chapters on more than 300 college and university campuses across the United States, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, and remains one of the oldest and most respected academic honor societies.
