No one knows how long it has been since a chapter of Phi Beta Delta Honors Society for International Scholars was active at the University of Iowa, but the organization returned to the UI campus with its revival of the Alpha Tau Chapter.
The Phi Beta Delta Honors Society for International Scholars was founded at California State University at Long Beach in 1986 and chartered in 1987 with 38 founding chapters.
It is the first national honor society dedicated to recognizing scholarly achievement in international education, and is unique in its multinational, interdisciplinary approach, according to the honor society’s website.
