The Phi Beta Delta Society (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ΦΒΔ) is an international honor society that was founded at California State University, Long Beach on February 27, 1986.[2] It was the first honor society dedicated to recognize scholarly achievement in international involvement and education, to give scholarships to deserving students and to enhance knowledge about various cultures around the world.[3] It was established as a national organization in 1987 with 38 chartered chapters, and has grown to become an international organization with over 179 chapters.[4]

The motto of the society is "Scientia Mutua Mundi" (World's Shared Knowledge).[5] Phi Beta Delta (ΦΒΔ) stands for philomatheia, biotremmonia, diapheren — "Love of knowledge, valuing of human life; and achieving excellence".
