About the Chapter

Since it was first organized in 1927, the primary objective of the Michigan State University Chapter of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi has been to promote the pursuit of excellence in all fields of higher education—theoretical and applied, or liberal arts and professional. Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff are initiated into Phi Kappa Phi in recognition of their outstanding academic achievements.

MSU Chapter members can apply for awards and fellowships, which are administered by The Society nationally. The MSU Chapter administers the Excellence Award in Interdisciplinary Scholarship. This award recognizes excellence of a team effort, not performance of one individual, in teaching, research, service, or a combination of these activities. Learn more about this scholarship.
