Historical Note

The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, and is known as the oldest, largest, and most selective all-discipline honor society in the nation. The chapter at Montana State University-Bozeman was founded in 1921 and presided over by Dean E. B. Norris with the intent of bringing the benefits of the Phi Kappa Phi to Montana students and to continue the mission of the Society: "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."
