Thirty Wofford College students and recent graduates were initiated as members-in-course during the college’s Phi Beta Kappa ceremony on Thursday, April 18, in Leonard Auditorium, Main Building.
Students are normally considered for election to Wofford’s Phi Beta Kappa chapter after they have earned 100 credit hours with a cumulative GPA of 3.8. Election is not automatic. Resident members of the chapter consider scholarship, character, intellectual curiosity, creative thinking, diversity of academic interests and pursuits, and other factors in the election process. The chapter may elect only 10% of a graduating class in any one year.
