Phi Lambda Upsilon
Phi Lambda Upsilon National Honorary Chemical Society (ΦΛΥ) was founded in 1899 at the Noyes Laboratory of the University of Illinois. Phi Lambda Upsilon was the first honor society dedicated to scholarship in a single discipline, chemistry.
Phi Lambda Upsilon was founded as an honorary chemical society in March 1899, at the University of Illinois. Its founders were the senior member of the campus chemical club, Horace C. Porter, Paul A. Rudnik and Fred C. Koch. They were assisted by Professors A. W. Palmer, H. S. Grindley and W. W. Parr.
The society was established "to promote high scholarship and investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemistry". The founders envisioned a society that would serve the field of chemistry in much the same manner as Phi Beta Kappa does the humanities; Sigma Xi for scientific research; and Tau Beta Pi for engineering. Phi Lambda Upsilon was the first honor society dedicated to a single scientific discipline.
In 1906, Beta chapter was established at the University of Wisconsin. Five more chapters were chartered prior to June 28, 1911, when the national society was organized at a convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. By 1920, the group also had an alumni chapter in Chicago.
Thereafter the Phi Lambda Upsilon gradually lifted standards for membership and developed programs within the chapters. Phi Lambda Upsilon had established 78 chapters with approximately 60,000 members.
Phi Lambda Upsilon's badge is a key shaped like a hexagon. On its face is a white band bearing the Greek letters "ΦΛΥ". Above the band are cross retorts and a Liebig bulb. The formula for an organic compound is around the edge of the hexegon.
Members may wear an honor cord at graduation. The society's colors are pink litmus and blue litmus. Its publication is The Register.
Members are elected by chapters or at-large on the basis of academic achievement. Membership includes exceptional students of pure and applied chemistry selected from the junior, senior, or graduate classes, and from qualified faculty, staffs, as well as from selected post-doctoral students engaged in chemical endeavors in affiliation with qualified institutions of higher learning.
