		PHI BETA KAPPA IN COLORADO Chapters The basic units of Phi Beta Kappa are the chapters. It is the chapters that elect and initiate new members to the Society. Currently chapters exist at 270 institutions of higher learning in the United States. A list of the chapters appears on the Society’s Web site.

Similar to chapters, these local organizations foster friendship and learning; however, they differ from chapters in that they have no power to confer Phi Beta Kappa membership. In order to continue their affiliation with the Society after graduation, new members are encouraged to make contact with the associations in the communities where they live. The Society’s website contains a directory with contact information for more than 50 associations. Colorado Associations Currently, there is only one Colorado Association of Phi Beta Kappa.
