Oxford, MS — (Contributed) — April 25, 2025 — Emma Prondzinski, of Jonesboro, majoring in public health, was among the more than 150 University of Mississippi students who were welcomed into the Phi Kappa Phi honor society, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honor societies for all academic disciplines.
The university held an induction ceremony on April 3 at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts on campus.
“Phi Kappa Phi, the all-discipline honor society, recognizes students who are the best of the best in their fields,” said Annette S. Kluck, Phi Kappa Phi chapter president and dean of the Graduate School. “In fact, it is one of the most selective honor societies.”
At the ceremony, students receive a set of cords to be worn at graduation, signifying their membership.
Membership in Phi Kappa Phi is based on a student’s character and academic standing. Juniors must have completed 72 credit hours and rank in the top 7.5% of their class, while seniors and graduate students must rank in the top 10% of their class.
