PBK Association of Boston

Phi Beta Kappa Association of Boston is affiliated with the national Phi Beta Kappa Society and upholds its ideals. Our association seeks to engage PBK members living in the greater Boston area in a variety of activities and events geared toward the PBK ideals through lectures, networking, discussions, cultural events, and other activities. In the past we have hosted happy hours; engaged speakers on a range of political, historical, and social topics; raised scholarship money at wine tasting events. We welcome your participation and your input.

The PBK Key

The Phi Beta Kappa Key bears, on the obverse, the Greek letters, Phi Beta Kappa, the initials of the words Philosophia Biou Kubernetes, meaning ``The love of wisdom is the helmsman of life.'' In the upper left corner, three stars symbolize the aims of the society; Friendship, Morality and Literature. A pointing hand symbolizes aspiration. On the reverse, the letters S P represent the second name of the society, Societas Philosophiae, the society of the love of knowledge. Below them is the historic date of the society's founding, December 5, 1776.
