Honor Societies

In almost all academic fields, national honor societies recognize students who show exceptional ability. Most departments at TCU have chapters of such societies to which high-achieving students are invited. In addition, some prestigious honor societies are open to students from throughout the University. The following are best-known at TCU and throughout the nation.

Phi Beta Kappa

Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest such society in America and one of the most selective. It invites to membership students with high grades whose studies show a breadth of knowledge in the liberal arts. Most initiates are seniors though juniors; graduate students are sometimes invited.

Mortar Board

Mortar Board invites students to membership on the basis of their service and leadership as well as scholarship.
