Individual Membership

Individuals who have demonstrated scholarly achievement in the international area are nominated for membership in Phi Beta Delta through the Chapter Governing Boards at colleges and universities with active chapters (see Chapter Listings).

There are three categories of membership:

• international (non-immigrant) students (upper division and graduate) who have demonstrated high scholastic achievement at their institutions;
• domestic students (upper division and graduate) who have demonstrated high scholastic achievement in the pursuit of academic studies abroad; and
• distinguished faculty, staff and visiting scholars involved in international endeavors such as teaching, administering exchange programs, conducting research, or providing services and programs to international students and scholars.

Once an individual is nominated, he or she is invited to the chapter's annual installation meeting where they become official members of the society.

If you would like to become a member of Phi Beta Delta, please contact your Campus Coordinator (see Chapter Listings) to find out the eligibility requirements for your chapter.

If your institution does not yet have a chapter, please ask your institution to contact the Phi Beta Delta Executive Office to learn how to start a chapter on your campus.
