University-wide honorary societies include the Boulder Society, which acknowledges outstanding senior men; and the Tower Society, which acknowledges outstanding seniors from all groups who have been traditionally marginalized based on their gender identity or expression. National honorary societies represented on campus are as follows: The Alpha of Vermont Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at the university in 1848 and has the honor of being the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter to initiate women and African Americans to membership, which it did in the 1870s. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa reflects outstanding academic achievement in a broad range of liberal arts disciplines and is typically extended to students in their senior year. The chapter also selects one junior each year to receive the Bogorad Award, which recognizes superlative academic achievement in the liberal arts through the sophomore year. The Mortar Board is a national society for senior women and men. Although membership in Mortar Board comes as a high honor for a UVM student in recognition of outstanding service, scholarship, and leadership, it is also a challenge for continued unselfish service in the best interests of the college campus.
