December 5: Phi Theta Kappa Founded
On 5 December 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia the first collegiate Greek-lettering fraternity is founded.
The Phi Beta Kappa society is an academic honor society in the United States and has nearly 280 chapters with over 500,000 members. The main purpose of the foundation of this club is it aims to promote and advocate the excellence in the liberal arts and sciences departments and inducts only the most outstanding students of arts and sciences from American colleges and universities from around the country.
In 1776 the group consisted of two students who most commonly meet at the local Raleigh tavern just off campus to discuss various topics. Whether the students organized to meet more freely and discuss non-academic topics or to discuss politics in a Revolutionary society is unknown. The earliest records indicate only that the students met to debate and engage in communication outside of college classrooms and on topics that would have been not far removed from the curriculum which they wound have been currently engaged in during their college studies. There were earlier fraternities at the college such as the F.H.C (Fat Hat Club), which was founded in 1750, but consisted of Latin-lettering and thus called a Latin-lettering society.
Like the older Latin-lettering societies, Phi Beta Kappa was a secret society. To protect its members and to instill a sense of solidarity, each member had the essential attributes of most modern fraternities: 1.) An oath of secrecy including a badge or token and 2.) A diploma (or certificate) of membership. Before the British invasion of Virginia forced the temporary closure of the College of William and Mary and disbandment of the Phi Beta Kappa early there earlier in 1781, Elisha Parmelee an alumni of Yale and Harvard passed through Williamsburg and took charters from the Phi Beta Kappa to establish branches of the society at these schools and in 1780 a second chapter was founded, and not long after in 1781 a third chapter followed. By 1833 there were 25 chapters, and by 1920 the total chapters reached 89. By 2007 nearly 280 chapters emerged and that count is continuing to grow.

Phi Theta Kappa is the traditional one for two year colleges while Phi Beta Kappa is the honor society for four year colleges. It follows very closely with its two year partner in the sense that it focuses on the arts and science. Since it was formed though 17 U.S presidents, and 37 supreme court justices have been inducted members. Only about 10% of the nations higher learning institutes have the program though.
