My parents would usually just call and congratulate me and tell me “way to go!”. They were really excited the first time, but once I started to get it most semesters they kind of became more relaxed about it.

When I made Phi Beta Kappa, I was inducted just prior to graduating, so my parents were able to attend, which was really nice. They also ordered me a gold PBK key pin/necklace (can be worn as either) to commemorate the occasion. I was touched that they chose to do that since, at least at my college, no key or pin is included with your Phi Beta Kappa induction so if you want one you have to buy it yourself and I didn’t really have the means to make that a priority.
