How long has Phi Kappa Phi been at Penn State University?
Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest all discipline honor society at Penn State established in 1900. In 1900, the presidents of the University of Maine, the Pennsylvania State College (now the Pennsylvania State University), and the University of Tennessee pledged their support; and the society thus became national, with three chapters. It was renamed Phi Kappa Phi from the initial letters of the three classical greek words forming its adopted motto: philosophia krateito photon, ‘let the love of learning rule humanity.’ currently there are over 300 chapters of Phi Kappa Phi scattered from Maine to Hawaii and the Philippines, and from Alaska to Puerto Rico.
