Phi Beta Kappa. Connecticut Alpha (Yale University)
Variant namesPhi Beta Kappa, Connecticut Alpha was established at Yale in 1781. It was originally a secret society, taking members from the senior class, but in 1825 it dropped its secrecy. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa was often, though not always, based on academic excellence. The society began to decline in the 1840s and became defunct in the 1870s. It was revived during Arthur T. Hadley's tenure as president of Yale (1899-1921).
