CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEAR’S INDUCTEES

The Montana State University chapter of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi welcomes 65 new members into the society.  An initiation ceremony was held on February 18, 2025 in Inspiration Hall on the MSU campus with a keynote address by Mr. Kelly Gorham, Director of Visual Media at MSU and long-standing Phi Kappa Phi member.

These honorees are among approximately 20,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors, having at least 72 semester hours, are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff, and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

New members include:

Officers for 2025 are Dean Durward Sobek, President; Sophia Stemler, Student Vice President; and Dean Matt Caires, Secretary.
