WELCOME MESSAGE
We would like to welcome you to the North Texas Association of Phi Beta Kappa! If you are new to DFW, or recently inducted into a Phi Beta Kappa chapter at your university, or simply unfamiliar with North Texas Association, let me extend to you a special invitation to join the North Texas Association, which serves as the regional alumni association for North Texas for all members of Phi Beta Kappa in this area. We are dedicated to promoting lifelong learning and friendship among all members of the National Society of Phi Beta Kappa residing in North Texas. And if you are a past member of our Association, thank you for your support, and welcome back!
We hope to have another exciting year of excellent programs, and we can't do it without your help and support. While we encourage your financial support to the National Society, please note that we are not funded by the National Society, and collect separate membership dues of $25 for the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).
