Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honors organization in the United States.
Founded at the College of William and Mary in 1776, its high and rigorous standards of excellence have made election to it one of the highest academic honors an undergraduate at a university in the United States can receive.
Brandeis University received a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in 1961, only 13 years after its founding. To date, Brandeis' Mu chapter has awarded Phi Beta Kappa honors to more than 2,300 students representing 59 countries.
In Memoriam
Brandeis University is sad to announce the passing of Associate Professor of Philosophy Andreas W. Teuber on Monday, Feb. 15, 2021. He was 78. Professor Teuber, who served as president of the Mu chapter for more than 10 years, loved his students, loved philosophy and loved Brandeis, and life in the department will not be the same without him.
