In 1897, 10 senior students, two faculty members and the University of Maine president created a new kind of honor society, one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Under the leadership of student Marcus L. Urann, the group formed the Lambda Sigma Eta Society, later renamed Phi Kappa Phi from the letters of the Greek words forming its motto, philosophía krateítõ phõtôn, "Let the love of learning rule humanity.”

THE HONOR SOCIETY OF PHI KAPPA PHI ESTABLISHED LAMAR UNIVERSITY CHAPTER 95 ON APRIL 23, 1965.
