Hayley Adams of Roanoke and Alexandra Montie of Troutville were initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. Both are students at Virginia Tech.
Students from Botetourt at Radford University who were initiated included Dolores Guerra of Blue Ridge, Chase Spangler of Buchanan, Josey Lackey of Daleville, Patricia Schaal of Troutville, and Morgan Haag, Eric Hughes and Madeline Hupp, all of Roanoke.
They are among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.
