The University of Colorado at Boulder initiated 62 students in the College of Arts and Sciences into the Phi Beta Kappa honor organization in December.

The Phi Beta Kappa Society elects generally the top 6 percent of graduates receiving degrees in the liberal arts each semester but is allowed to accept as many as the top 10 percent of graduating seniors who meet all requirements. Members must maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.65.

CU-Boulder's Phi Beta Kappa Society, formerly known as the Alpha Chapter, was chartered in 1904 as the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter in Colorado. There are only three other chapters in Colorado at the University of Denver, Colorado State University and Colorado College. Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., and has 250 chapters nationwide.
