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 during Commencement weekend in May. The schedule for UVM’s May Commencement events remains in flux, so students elected to membership should consult their invitations for specific details of time and place.
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.
