It wouldn't have done me any good if it was there when I was a student unless they accepted a 2.8 average.

 

[Predestined]

Great. My Phi Kappa Phi stock just plummeted.

 

[AFDawg]

This is huge news and a testament to the work of the College of Arts and Sciences and Honors College.

 

[Shmuley]

Phi Gamma Delta wants a swap.

 

[MagicDawg]

Wish it had been there 25-30 years ago.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

This is a BFD. Props to Keenum and the university.

 

[Xenomorph]

Hey.. they can’t treat our pledges like that!

 

[Philly Dawg]

I’d like to retroactively be made a member.

I'm glad because people view this as prestigious. Having said that, I'm surprised since it is only for Arts and Sciences majors only that it is as big a deal as it is. That's one college in the whole university. And no, engineers are not eligible.

 

[Shmuley]

Pffffft. Call me when they get chosen for the prestigious who’s who among American colleges and universities and secure a plaque, certificate, name in book and a koozy.

Engineers went and founded their own honor society because of this exclusion. An honor society that includes Buzz Aldrin and the richest man in the world.

We engineers are okay not being invited to your precious little arts and crafts club.**

 

[The_Duderino]

Phi Gamma Delta and a prestigious academic honor society swap, would love to see this

Isn’t their a frequent poster that keeps saying academics is a huge issue at state and that we are slipping?

 

[MeridianDog]

BBBbBBBbbbbbbb but


What about the Land Shark Chapter?

 

[RocketDawg]

No, but physics and math majors are included. And philosophy. There are some pretty smart folks in those fields.

Not that I know of .... some say that academic concentration at a university is more important than sports though ....

[RocketDawg]

Pretty sure they've had one for several years.

 

[MTNDawg.sixpack]

Yeah, looks like we might be last in the SEC to get a chapter

Pretty sure they've had one for several years.

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I might sell mine before it drops even more. **

 

[docdawg]

I was in charge of the application section dealing with athletics. PBK scrutinizes over EVERY detail. You are right in saying we were the last in the SEC to get a chapter. The application process is a gauntlet and the actual document is massive. For example, in the Academic Facilities section, it asks you to list the primary building materials for each structure within the College of Arts and Sciences.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I would take the $ line on the Phi Beta Kappas in Flag Football vs the Phi Gams

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Looking less and less like we need to keep Vandy around the SEC to prop up the GPA
