The first round of Phi Beta Kappa results are out; these lucky individuals were elected to the society in December. Congratulations to all!
For the unknowing, Phi Beta Kappa is the “nation’s oldest academic honor society,” and eventually about 10% of the graduating class becomes a member. The first round of elections took place last December, and these people were selected based on GPA and faculty recommendations. The rest will be elected and announced in May.
Initiation into Phi Beta Kappa for these inductees (below the jump) will take place in Low on Thursday. If you recognize some and would like to let us know about anything notable about them, please feel free to leave a message in the comments!

@yay hillary! congrats Hillary! You totally deserve it (and you were a great editor!)
@hillary busis is my hero!!
@amanda parsons is AMAZING. CONGRATULATIONS!
@Brock Landers Where the fuck is Ringo on this list?
@Anonymous Kaitlyn is brilliant. one of the most motivated, smart, and driven individuals i know on this campus. im glad to see her receive this honor!
@Dirk D. Ari, you’re the biggest star here man, and that’s the way it is.
@Jim Looks like for Phi Beta Kappa you definitely need well above a 4.0 My advisor told me that 3.8 is a stretch for magna cum laude and a 4.0 is necessary for summa.
I’d venture to say about 50-70 people in CC have above a 4.0 – <5% of the class.
I could be totally wrong, however.
@who knows, really I’d say around 30-40 people in CC have over a 4.0. That’s around the number of people who are “eligible” for early-PBK (whose names are sent to their respective departments so that professors can recommend them). About half of those are elected to early-PBK.
@congrats! hey i am just curious, what do you have to have to get honors for cc? how many people have over 4.0s in the college? (all of them plus more?)
@congrats tannenbaum was my ta–so smart and funny
@Anonymous Daniel!!!
@carman 7 ANNA MURRAY <3
CONGRATS, YOU'RE THE COOLEST AND MADE MY FRESHMAN YEAR SO MUCH BETTER.
@YEAH CARMAN 7 Best floor/RA combo ever!
@False FALSE. ISABEL/CARMAN 13. Beat that.
@Anonymous many asian students are in SEAS. SEAS students don’t get inducted into Phi Beta Kappa but rather Tau Beta Pi.
@so far some great picks. interesting and well deserved people
@fwiends! Yay! Evie!
@Toolbags McGee Tannenbaum

pest person in this world!
@CO-OP!!! congrats nick and all the rest – huge accomplishment guys
@ARI PHE Co-coordinator!
@OwlPower on another note…ARI!!! The most amazing TA ever. He clearly deserves PBK
@mreep Funny, there are no Asians on this list, though Asians clearly are a large presence on this campus. shame.
@mreep edit.. I guess Christine is the only Asian on this list
@um this is both untrue and irrelevant
@No, Not really, it’s not irrelevant, considering so many students here believing in the model minority myth.
@Ummm So Asian-ness is exclusively patrilineal? I think not.
