The Phi Beta Kappa Society installed a chapter at Geneseo in 2004. Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most prestigious honor society in the liberal arts, dating back to 1776. Geneseo’s membership places it among a select group of 270 of the finest colleges and universities in the nation as guarantors of quality in the liberal arts.
