The Phi Beta Delta Society (ΦΒΔ) is an international honor society that was founded at California State University, Long Beach on February 27, 1986.[2] It was the first honor society dedicated to recognize scholarly achievement in international involvement and education, to give scholarships to deserving students and to enhance knowledge about various cultures around the world.[3] It was established as a national organization in 1987 with 38 chartered chapters, and has grown to become an international organization with over 179 chapters.[4]

The motto of the society is "Scientia Mutua Mundi" (World's Shared Knowledge).[5] Phi Beta Delta (ΦΒΔ) stands for philomatheia, biotremmonia, diapheren — "Love of knowledge, valuing of human life; and achieving excellence".[5]

Membership

Membership in the Society is open to individuals who have demonstrated scholarly achievement through international involvement. These individuals include:

  • international students (non-immigrant visa holders in the upper division or graduate levels) who have demonstrated high scholastic achievement at their institution;
  • domestic students (upper division and graduate level) who have demonstrated high scholastic achievement in the pursuit of academic studies abroad in exchange programs approved by the institution or in participation in comparable international programs or experiences where academic relevance can be demonstrated to the institution;
  • distinguished faculty and staff who have been involved in recognized international endeavors (i.e. research, teaching, program development, or service).[6]

Phi Beta Delta Executive Office

Since July 2011, the headquarters of Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars have been located at California State University, San Bernardino.

Phi Beta Delta Honor Society's headquarters are at California State University, San Bernardino. The contact information for headquarters is: Phi Beta Delta Headquarters, AD 148 & 150, California State University, San Bernardino. 5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407. The Executive Director is Dr. HK Oh.

Headquarters was previously located at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue in the Dupont Circle area of Washington DC.[7] At this address, the offices of Phi Beta Delta and Policy Studies Organization were located. This site was the home of the son of James A. Garfield, the twentieth President of the United States.[7] Dr. Harry Garfield was the President of Williams College from 1908 to 1934 and a member of President Woodrow Wilsons Kitchen cabinet.[7] The house continues to be a center for international focus.[7] It was rented out in 1920 to Carter Glass who became Secretary of the Treasury under Wilson, and then Senator from Virginia, and who is regarded as a founder of the Federal Reserve System. Garfield also rented the house to the Ecuador Embassy and later to the British Embassy's air attache.[7]
