The Iota Chapter will be sponsoring a number of events in the 2008-2009 academic year, starting with:

• A reception for PBK Alumni during Meliora Weekend: Friday, Oct. 17th, 5:00PM, in the Rare Books & Special Collections Department in Rush Rhees Library. We will have a speaker; wine, cheese, and fruit will be on hand, with plenty of time to mingle and reconnect.
Our 2007/08 events included:
• A joyful initiation of new members took place May 17th, 2008.
• In late March, the annual business meeting was held in the Welles Brown Room of Rush Rhees Library.
• Also in March, the chapter hosted a faculty/student meet and greet dinner, in the Gamble Room of Rush Rhees Library. An informal affair, it provided a chance for on-campus Phi Beta Kappans to get together and enjoy great food and great company. Look for more of these in 2008/09.
• The 5th Annual Iota Book Award ceremony took place in November 2007.
