Pi Delta Phi the National French Honor Society

Pi Delta Phi, a national honor society for undergraduate and graduate students, is based in Geneseo, New York. The organization has six employees and generates approximately $2.5 million in annual revenue. Founded in 1906 at the University of California at Berkeley, Pi Delta Phi is the oldest academic honor society dedicated to a modern foreign language in the United States. The society's nationalization occurred in 1925 with the establishment of its Beta Chapter at the University of Southern California. Pi Delta Phi recognizes exceptional scholarship in both the French language and its literature. Its mission is multifaceted, encompassing the recognition of academic excellence, the promotion of understanding and appreciation for French-speaking cultures, and the encouragement of French and francophone cultural activities. The Society serves as a prestigious designation for students who demonstrate a mastery of French. It boasts over 370 chapters across the United States, along with representative chapters at American Universities in both Paris and Aix-en-Provence, France. Pi Delta Phi became a member of the Association of College Honor Societies in 1967.
