榮譽學會、兄弟會、和姊妹會是美國大學校園生活裡的一部份。一群充滿進取心的大學生在1776年12月5日成立了斐陶斐榮譽學會，該學會是美國最具歷史及最負盛名的榮譽學會。學會的名稱是以「philosophia biou kubernetes 」這句希臘文裡每個字的字首所組成，意思是「哲學，生命的指引」。該學會成立之後，組織成員定期聚會，舉行寫作、辯論、及其他社交活動。他們同時也建立了一套美國榮譽學會、兄弟會、與姊妹會的運作傳統與符號象徵：秘密誓言、行為規範、希臘或拉丁文的訓言、和入會儀式。如果你在美國留學，可以考慮以加入學校的榮譽學會為目標，你也有機會成為斐陶斐的一員喔。更多資訊請見： https://www.pbk.org/web

Honors societies, fraternities, and sororities are part of college life in the United States. Established by a group of enterprising undergraduates on December 5, 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is America’s oldest and most prestigious academic honors society. Its name is formed from the initial letters of the Greek words for philosophia biou kubernetes, meaning "Philosophy, the Guide of Life." After its founding, members met regularly to write, debate, and socialize. They also established the practices and symbols typical of American honors societies, fraternities and sororities: an oath, a code of laws, mottoes in Greek and Latin, and an initiation ritual. If you are a student, think about working toward and joining an honor society at school. Someday you may be a Phi Beta Kappa! Learn more: https://www.pbk.org/web
