It was founded in 1923 at the University of Illinois and is the largest and oldest honor society in the United States. Eligible candidates must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale at the end of a full-time curricular period to be elected to membership. The society has inducted more than 975,000 members across 365 college and university campuses in the U.S. since its inception. The Florida Tech chapter was first chartered in 1998.
