Three KCK students named to Phi Kappa Phi honor society

Three Kansas City, Kan., students recently were initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines.

The students include:

Alaina Banks of Kansas City, Kan., was initiated at University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Bridget McSorley of Kansas City, Kan., was initiated at University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Lauren Musgrove of Kansas City, Kan., was initiated at Pittsburg State University.

These residents are among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors, having at least 72 semester hours, are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.
