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.
Our next ceremony will be at 7:30 pm on Friday, December 4, 2026 in Waterman Memorial Lounge. Inductees should arrive at 7:15 pm to line up and introduce themselves to the person who will be reading names during the ceremony. Professional attire is appropriate. Family, friends, and members of the UVM community are welcome to attend the ceremony.
Our May ceremony is part of commencement weekend. Stay tuned for the 2027 details.
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.
