Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society induct new members

New members of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society sit for a photo during an induction ceremony on April 9 at the University of Houston-Victoria. This group of eight students were the newly inducted members into UHV's local chapter of the honor society. Membership for Phi Kappa Phi represents a hard-earned honor for academic standouts across all disciplines. Invitations to the honor society only go out to the top 7.5 percent of second-term juniors and top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students. Members become part of a distinguished legacy that includes White House officials, congressional representatives, Supreme Court justices, Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners and many others.
