The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi's Chapter 100 has been chartered at UNLV since 1967. What started out a group of 20 faculty members and five students has grown into a chapter that initiates approximately 150 new members each year. This national honor society is the only one that recognizes superior scholarship in all fields of study. Because Phi Kappa Phi is so highly selective, membership is recognized as a true mark of academic distinction by graduate and professional schools as well as employers. Additional benefits of membership include vying for local and national awards and fellowships, finding mentors and networking opportunities within the society, and receiving valuable services and discounts from corporate partners on items like cell phones, computers, and test preparation classes. It's important to note that at UNLV, Phi Kappa Phi is the only honor society noted on the university's official transcripts.
