Membership & Benefits
How to Join
Membership in Phi Kappa Phi is by invitation only. In order to be eligible for membership in the spring of your senior or junior year, you must be in the top 10 percent of your class if you are a senior, or in the top 7.5 percent of your class if you are a junior. The top 10 percent of graduate students who meet similar but separate academic criteria are also eligible.
Invitations are sent in the spring semester, and invitees are encouraged to attend the induction ceremony to interact with new and current members and learn first-hand about the many benefits of membership in this prestigious and nationally recognized honor society. For more information, please contact the UMaine chapter president, Dr. Dan Sandweiss.
