 ==History==
-Phi Beta Kappa was founded in [[1776]] at the College of William and Mary, and subsequent chapters were opened at other schools, including Columbia. Notably, while Columbia is the oldest institution of higher education in [[New York State]], its chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is only the fourth-oldest, which is why it is referred to as "New York Delta".

 ==Induction==
-Each year, ten percent of the senior class is elected to membership (roughly corresponding to those who receive the [[Latin honors]] of ''[[magna cum laude|magna]]'' and ''[[summa cum laude]]''). Two percent are elected in December, with the remainder inducted in mid-May just prior to [[Commencement]]. Election is not solely based on grades, but also requires nomination by faculty.

Two percent are elected in December, with the remainder inducted in mid-May just prior to [[Commencement]]. Spring nominees are notified by mail in late April. Election is not solely based on grades, but also requires nomination by faculty.
 The induction ceremony takes place the day before [[Class Day]] in the [[Low Library]] rotunda, following the conferral of academic awards. New members receive plaques and, if they have elected to pay for them, Phi Beta Kappa inscribed keys. The inductees then inscribe their signatures in the books that have held the names of Columbia Phi Beta Kappa inductees since [[1900]]. [[Core Curriculum]] pioneer [[John Erskine]] is the most conspicuous signature appearing on the 1900 page. [[Lawrence Wien]] was also a member, and his PBK key is on display in the [[Butler Library]] reference room.
