Four members of the St. John’s basketball entering first-year class of 2013 were inducted April 26, 2017, into Phi Beta Kappa (Theta of Minnesota chapter) at the College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University as graduating seniors: Tim Immelman, Ryan Buron, Conrad Sexe, and Ethan Freer.

Tim Immelman, Ryan Buron, Conrad Sexe, and Ethan Freer

Phi Beta Kappa is the nation’s oldest academic honor society (founded in 1776 at the College of William and Mary in Virginia). Students are chosen based on their grade-point average (3.85 for juniors, 3.65 for seniors) and must be a liberal arts and/or sciences major. The selection committee also looked at the breadth and depth of the student’s program and other achievements, such as a thesis or other research; interest in other cultures or languages; extracurricular activities; and academic performance.
