Pi Delta Phi national French Honor Society
In 2002, the Nu Delta Chapter of the Pi Delta Phi National French Honor Society was established at the University of Pittsburgh. Pi Delta Phi was founded as a departmental honor society at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1906.
After 20 years as a local chapter, Pi Delta Phi declared itself the National French Honor Society and chartered the Beta Chapter at the University of Southern California in 1925.
At the present time, the Society numbers more than 325 chapters established at representative public and private colleges and universities in almost every state, as well as chapters in Paris and Aixen-Provence.
Purpose of Society
- To recognize outstanding scholarship in the French language and its literatures;
- To increase the knowledge and appreciation of Americans for the cultural contributions of the French-speaking world; and
- To stimulate and encourage French and francophone cultural activities.
