Please urge college / university juniors & seniors to accept the highly competitive, prestigious invitation for ΦBK membership.

P.S.

an emblem of high achievement & strong potential
US’ Most Prestigious Academic honor society
with 286 college / university chapters & 50+ alumni associations
Oldest undergraduate honors organization in the US

Recent past US presidents & US President Obama share a Phi Beta Kappa connection: three former US Presidents are ΦBK s: George H.W. Bush / Yale ’48, Bill Clinton / Georgetown, ‘68 & Jimmy Carter / honorary at Kansas State University, ’91. Two are sons of ΦBK s: US President Obama (through his father Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., ΦBK / Hawai’i at Manoa in ’62) & past US President George W. Bush (through his father). ΦBK s share the honor of membership with 17 US presidents & seven of the nine current US Supreme Court Justices (including Sonia Sotomayor, ΦBK, Princeton, ’76).
Famous or not, all ΦBK s have one thing in common: the pursuit of excellence. ΦBK s whose names you may know: Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com; Glenn Close, actor; Eileen Collins, space-shuttle commander; Francis Ford Coppola, film director; Michael Crichton, author; Rita Dove, former US Poet Laureate; John Hope Franklin, historian; Brian Greene, physicist; Peyton Manning, NFL quarterback; Stephen Sondheim, composer & lyricist; Gloria Steinem, co-founder of Ms. Magazine; & John Updike, novelist & critic.
Headhunter Nick Corcodilos, ΦBK,Rutgers, ‘77 (The Key Reporter, Fall 2009, p. 10) explains how to market Liberal Arts degree skills (e.g., English, other languages, art history, psychology: non-business disciplines) in the business world:* offer your well-honed ability to learn what you need to in order to accomplish a task & your strong writing & communication skills (to help CEOs who can’t write to save their lives). Highlight your fundamental skills & attributes (that others may lack) in terms of the respective business: e.g., your skills to define problems & tasks; master information retrieval systems (libraries, books, periodicals, Internet, personal interviews); facility in planning & executing research, organizing ideas & solutions; your attributes of an open mind to new ideas & approaches; disciplined work habits; a critical eye & ear. “Select a business you want to work in. Study it in excruciating detail. Learn enough so that you can begin mapping your skills & attributes to the business (i.e., so that you can explain how your skills & attributes can be used to solve an employer’s problems).”

Phi Beta Kappa is America’s oldest & most widely recognized collegiate honor society. It was founded in 1776 at the College of William & Mary. There are now 286 chapters at the strongest & best-respected colleges & universities in the country. In selecting a college, prospective students will find the presence of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter to be a reliable indicator of institutional merit. Consult the Chapter Locator at www.PBK.org or glance through the list, below, to find institutions with a chapter.
Fewer than 10% of America’s colleges & universities have a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Those that do have earned the right by demonstrating that the liberal arts & sciences – the traditional core of higher learning – are at the center of their educational program, & by showing that excellence in these enduring studies is achieved, maintained, & celebrated. Phi Beta Kappa joins with its host institutions in affirming the value of liberal arts education as the best preparation for professional success, responsible citizenship, & personal fulfillment.
Only by choosing to attend a Phi Beta Kappa college or university can you aspire to membership in this selective organization. Each chapter elects about 10% of eligible liberal arts & sciences students in each class. You could join seven of the nine current justices of the United States Supreme Court, NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, actor Glenn Close, & many leaders in business, the professions, government, & academe, as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. To see the names of other distinguished members visit www.PBK.org
With about 600,000 living members, Phi Beta Kappa offers ample opportunities for networking with other ΦBK key holders in the United States & abroad. There are alumni associations in many parts of the country with activities designed to keep members engaged with their liberal arts education
Perhaps most important, Phi Beta Kappa is an advocacy group for the liberal arts & sciences, & the values inherent in those studies. By attending a Phi Beta Kappa college & being elected to membership in the Society, you can become associated with a group that fosters freedom of inquiry & expression, disciplinary rigor in learning, breadth of perspective, diversity of opinion, & the application of the skills of deliberation in the pursuit of a more just & peaceful world.
At the time of induction into The Phi Beta Kappa Society, one joins the nation’s oldest & most prestigious honor society for life. Phi Beta Kappa membership shows commitment to the liberal arts & sciences, & to freedom of inquiry & expression — & it provides a competitive edge in the marketplace. Potential employers regularly contact The Phi Beta Society’s national office to confirm the membership of job seeks.
After graduation, members may join a Phi Beta Kappa alumni association in their community. Associations bring together members of all ages, fostering friendship & lifelong learning through social, cultural & education programs & service projects. Many associations raise money for scholarships to perpetuate the legacy of The Phi Beta Kappa Society. Members also have exclusive networking opportunities & have access to a lifetime subscription to The Key Report & many other member benefits.

Phi Beta Kappans make liberal arts degree pay off
Headhunter Nick Corcodilos, Phi Beta Kappa, Rutgers, ’77 (“The Key Reporter, Fall 2009; p. 10) explains how to market Liberal Arts degree skills (e.g., English, other languages, art, history, psychology: non-business disciplines) in the business world: offer your well-honed ability to learn what you need to in order to accomplish a task & your strong writing & communication skills (to help CEOs who can’t write to save their lives). Highlight your fundamental skills & attributes (that others may lack) in terms of the respective business: your skills to define problems & tasks; master information-retrieval systems (libraries, books, periodicals, Internet, personal interviews); facility in planning & executing research, organizing ideas & solutions; your attributes of an open mind to new ideas & approaches; disciplined work habits; a critical eye & ear.
*Select a business you want to work in. Study it in excruciating detail. Learn enough so that you can begin mapping your skills & attributes to the business (i.e., so that you can explain how your skills & attributes can be used to solve an employer’s problems).

Adapt your resume format to align with your personality & business. Here is my cut-&-paste template.
Please help yourself to or adopt/adapt any/all ideas, below, that may help you to highlight and showcase your accomplishments on your resume.
I edit my cut-&-paste resume template (below), upon request — for group introductions, biographical sketches and one-page resumes. Special thanks go to my admired friend Dorothy Drummer, who advised me to state my summary of experience first — because people typically don’t read much farther through a resume; to summarize the scope of the organizations I had worked for and to quantify throughout — in order to put the organization & my contributions into an understandable, numerical context; to increase understanding-at-a-glance by using bold text, “bulleted” summaries with an action-word verb first, indentation and underlining to guide the reader’s eyes; & to add what I had originally ignored as “anecdotal information” such as “Recruited by,” “Drove 21,800 miles” or “Promoted to” kinds of data.
