It is the oldest honor society in the U.S., recognizing stellar achievements in the liberal arts and sciences. Nationwide, 280 academic institutions have chapters. The USC chapter was founded in 1929.<\/p>\n<p>In his keynote address, Edwin McCann, president of the USC Dornsife Faculty Council and professor of English and philosophy, said the Greek translation of Phi Beta Kappa perfectly encapsulates the society&rsquo;s values. Phi is the root word for philosophy, a discipline grounded on inquiry and a liberal art&rsquo;s cornerstone. Beta is Greek for life. Beta can indicate the study of life or the life we live as human beings, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is an ongoing occupation to live a satisfying and fulfilling life,&rdquo; McCann said. &ldquo;It demands liberty and the freedom to make one&rsquo;s own choices to pursue whatever one has identified as worthy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The best kind of education to this end is a liberal education,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;One that liberates the mind from bondage and prejudice and sloppy thinking. It is liberal education that prepares the mind to accomplish what one pursues.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Information about Phi Beta Kappa can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/phi-beta-kappa\/\"
