The University of South Dakota

Phi Beta Kappa is the most prestigious academic society for undergraduates in the United States, and The U is the only college or university in the state of South Dakota -- public or private -- with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. 

This "Alpha Chapter," chartered in 1926, has enrolled some of the most distinguished graduates in the history of The U.

Formally "sheltered" in the College of Arts & Sciences, Phi Beta Kappa is open by invitation to students who have excelled in the traditional liberal arts.
