On Thursday, April 20, the New York Delta Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society announced the names of 53 GS seniors who will be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa during a ceremony at Faculty House on Friday, May 13.
GS elects no more than 10 percent of its graduating class to Phi Beta Kappa. Students are selected on the basis of their character, integrity, and academic achievement. With grade point averages above 4.0, they are among the top in their class.
Inductees include students from the Joint Degree Program with List College of the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Dual BA Program Between Columbia University and Sciences Po, the Dual BA between Trinity College Dublin and Columbia University, the Joint Bachelor’s Degree Program between City University of Hong Kong and Columbia University, and the Dual Degree Program between Tel Aviv University and Columbia University, in addition to students who began their undergraduate educations in community college before transferring to Columbia.
Upon pledging to "be true and faithful to Phi Beta Kappa, uphold its standards, obey its laws and seek to reflect credit upon [their] affiliation with this venerable fellowship of learners," the exceptional candidates will become full-fledged members of Phi Beta Kappa.
