JAY STANLEY ACADEMIC KEY SOCIETY

In 1997, during his tenure as Grand President, Jay Stanley (Tennessee ’62) felt so strongly about the Fraternity’s Cardinal Principle, To Stimulate Scholarship, that he implemented a program which recognizes undergraduates who are outstanding students. The Fraternity is pleased to continue that program, the Academic Key Society.

This academic honorary will recognize members who attain a 3.5 grade point average or above. Members will receive a certificate for a first-time achievement and a lapel pin and certificates for those who receive this distinction in consecutive grading periods. Like other honoraries, Phi Sigma Kappa will refer to its lapel pin recognition piece as a “key.”
