about Phi Beta DELTAPhi Beta Delta, founded at California State University, Long Beach in 1986, was establishedas an organization in 1987 with 38 chartered chapters, many of which had existed for aconsiderable time previously at the local level. It is the first honor society dedicated torecognizing scholarly achievement in international education. As of December f 2004,168 chapters have been chartered.
Phi Beta Delta traces its background to the 18th-century founding of Phi Beta Kappa. In the19th century, Greek fraternities divided into the social, professional, and academicGreeks. Phi Beta Delta is an academic and professional society, unique because it isresolutely interdisciplinary and international. Its formal organization brought togethernumerous pre-existing internally oriented campus groups. Its goals are:
• to recognize the scholarly achievement of international students and scholars, whohave studied abroad, and faculty and staff who are involved in international activities;
• to serve as a vehicle for the development of academic-based internationalprogramming;
• to provide a network on each campus of faculty, staff, and students involved ininternational endeavors; and
• to extend this network to thousands of members in chapters throughout the world.
The Greek letters in Phi Beta Delta stand for the following:• Phi (philomatheia) - love of knowledge;• Beta (biotremmonia) - valuing of human life; and• Delta (diapheren) - achieving excellence.
The colors chosen for the honor society were red and gold. Red symbolizes the strengthand diversity of humankind and gold is a symbol for the sun from which all people andcultures draw strength and life.
The Crest of the Society was designed with a globe, a torch, the sun, a book, and a shield.
The globe represents the international perspective of the Society's members. The torchsymbolizes the leadership and influence of the Society. The sun stands for the energy fromwhich all cultures draw strength. The book symbolizes the coining and sharing ofknowledge. The shield represents the preservation of academic freedom.
The Society's motto–"Scientia Mutua Mundi" (World's Shared Knowledge)–is inscribedat the base of the crest.
