Michaela Feinberg of Guilford was one of 58 students inducted this spring into the Muhlenberg College chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most prestigious honorary society in America.
Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa has celebrated excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and championed freedom of thought since that time. Muhlenberg College was granted a charter from the national organization in 1967.

The standards for an institution to claim a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa are high, and colleges are granted a charter only after a lengthy review process. Only about 10 percent of the nation's institutions of higher learning have Phi Beta Kappa chapters. The criteria for membership are strict and are based on national Phi Beta Kappa guidelines. Students who meet the eligibility requirements, which on average includes 10% of all students, will receive a letter of invitation from our chapter sometime early in the final semester of their senior year. A limited number of juniors will also be awarded early induction each year.
