Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society. Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa’s motto is “Love of learning is the guide of life.” Only 10 percent of all colleges and universities have Phi Beta Kappa chapters and only 10 percent of graduates of arts and science programs at those distinguished institutions are selected for membership in Phi Beta Kappa.
Robert Cassady (right — South Bend, IN) and Zachary Rohrbach (below right — Indianapolis, IN) were elected as juniors at last year's Commencement.
Senior inductees this year include Andrew Alexander (Yorktown, IN), Thomas Ball (Glenview, IL), Seth Bawel (Indianapolis, IN), Evan Bayless (Crawfordsville, IN), Kyle Bender (Delphi, IN), Donovan Bisbee (Ridgefield, WA), Trevor Counceller (Columbus, IN), Nicholas Curosh (Whiting, IN), Christopher Deig (Evansville, IN), Kenneth Farris (Indianapolis, IN), Peter Guiden (Fond du Lac, WI), Peter Gunderman (Zionsville, IN), Steven Henke (Indianapolis, IN), Kristofer Klondaris (Warsaw, IN), Andrew Kunze (Danville, IL), Bihui Liu (Chengdu, The People’s Republic of China ), Zeyu Lu (Jiangsu Province, The People’s Republic of China), Timothy Markey (Fort Wayne, IN), Peter Robbins (Indianapolis, IN), Jeffrey Soller (Indianapolis, IN), Yijun Tang (Changshu, Jiangsu, The People’s Republic of China), Anh Tran (Hanoi, Vietnam), and Michael Trevino (San Antonio, TX).
