Ceremonies

The resident members of the Alpha of Vermont meet twice annually to elect students to membership in the chapter. After those elections, students are contacted and invited to attend an induction ceremony. Only students who attend an induction ceremony and sign the chapter book become members of Phi Beta Kappa.

Ceremonies generally take place on December 5 and the Saturday morning of Commencement weekend in May.

Our next ceremony will be Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 7:30 pm in Waterman Memorial Lounge.

Students who were inducted in May 2020 or May 2021 and who have not yet signed the chapter book in person are invited to attend a future ceremony or to make an appointment to sign. Contact nphelps@uvm.edu for more information.
