About Phi Kappa Phi

The mission of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others. The Phi Kappa Phi badge represents the various branches of general education and the bond that unites members in a common love of learning.

At California State University, Chico, we have a renewed interest in using PKP as a tool to unite and engage our campus community of student and professional scholars. Welcome to our new website!
