Columbians, prepare to lash out in insecurity! CC 2012’s first batch of inductees to Phi Beta Kappa has been announced, and will be inducted into the nation’s oldest academic honor society this month. A larger group of scholarly standouts will get the nod later in the semester. If this is all Greek to you, just ask Bwog. Congratulations, everyone!

@sixth year senior I never know the people who get PBK, although perhaps there is a reason for that.
@another 6th year senior hey pal
NOBODY CARES. it’s all about what you accomplish. i know a pbk guy a couple years back who is now serving jail time :P
sincerely,
dont give a fuck, seas senior, ~pbk-type GPA.
@Anonymous why doesn’t SEAS get PBK? at princeton, mit, harvard, brown, dartmouth, yale etc etc, engineers get PBK. why not at columbia?
@Anonymous Congrats Sheldon!!!
@Anonymous Woohoo!!!! Sheldon!
@You deserve it Erik, congrats! I love you!
@Biased Zach Levine is the most lovely assemblage of an academic threat on this campus. He should wear a crown on graduation.
@Anonymous David!!!!
@Is it Chuck Testa Nope, Anthony Testa
@Anonymous Yay Erik!!
@all the chicks here are marriage material.
come. let us bang.
@Anonymous what are the requirements to be inducted into phi beta kappa?
@Anonymous yeah, like what do I need to do to get it? I’m a soph now.
@Anonymous I’m sure one of the requirements is being a senior.
@Anonymous Based on what I know of most of these people, they didn’t come to Columbia with the goal of being PBK. Instead, they were simply passionate, diligent, and above all, had great personal integrity. So, sophomore, I’d say—be like that, and don’t try to find a shortcut.
Congratulations to everyone inducted, the honor is truly deserved!
@Anonymous Okay that’s nice, but what are the selection criteria?
@Anonymous yeah, honestly how can i maximize my chances of getting PBK? like…should i take bullshit anthropology classes to get the easy GPA?
@Anonymous aren’t they all bullshit?
@Anon This isn’t something where you gain the system.
@Anonymous shout out to:
amin – who is so nice and intelligent that anyone who ever gets to take a class with him should consider themselves lucky
zach – who is incredibly friendly and personable while still dominating the anthro dept like it’s nobody’s business
elizabeth – who is not only an awesome person but also gives all jocks at columbia a good name by perfectly juggling schoolwork and swimming/waterpolo
erik – whose compassion for all of the students at columbia and work through stressbusters has truly left a mark on this community–AND he rocks at psych on the side.
you guys are great! congrats!
@Anonymous so many of these people are so, so wonderful! they really deserve this! congrats guys!!
