Membership Initiation

Congratulations on your scholarly success and your nomination to PBK! 

Please go to the national Phi Beta Kappa website (this page will open in a new tab) and complete their enrollment form.  If you somehow land on the wrong page, go to the Phi Beta Kappa homepage, scroll over "Membership" on the drop-down menu, and then click on "Accept Your Invitation."  Do the following:

  • Choose "Colorado College"; enter this passcode: CCPBK; and click "continue."
  • Fill out the registration form including choosing a username and password and click "next."
  • When you get to "Payment Method," your only option should be "Pay Officer Directly." CC is covering the cost for you, so you do not have to make a payment.  But you MUST choose this option to move forward with registration even though no payment will be required.
  • Then click "finish" and, on the next screen, you will see a confirmation message thanking you for accepting the invitation to join Phi Beta Kappa.

Once you submit your information, your membership will be "pending." After the chapter submits your lifetime membership dues later this summer, you will officially be a member of Phi Beta Kappa for the rest of your life!

Finally, if you are a graduating senior, please fill out a very quick 2-question form for us so we have the correct phonetic pronunciation of your name, and then we’ll look forward to seeing you at the 2025 initiation ceremony (3 p.m. on Friday, May 16th in the Celeste Theater of the Cornerstone Arts Center), just before commencement weekend gets going.  Please encourage your family or guardians to attend!
