The University's Newest Pledge
The Phi Kappa Literary Society is a literary society, located at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.
The Society was founded in 1820 by Joseph Henry Lumpkin, later to become the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia and eponym for the University of Georgia Lumpkin School of Law, and by William Crabbe, Edwin Mason, and Henry Mason, who formed the society after splitting from the Demosthenian Literary Society.
Literary societies were nineteenth century forerunners to the modern social fraternities and sororities that emerged early in the twentieth century on college campuses. Literary societies tended to focus on debate and parliamentary procedure as a way of preparing their student members for roles in public and political life. Few societies remain active in holding regular meetings and debate; some, like the Phi Beta Kappa Society have become honorary societies.
The Phi Kappa Literary Society is one of the few active literary societies left, meeting every academic Thursday at 7pm on the University Georgia's North Campus in Phi Kappa Hall. The Phi Kappa Literary Society still holds debates and a forum for creative writings and orations.

Standing By One Of the White Columns of the Chapel on UGA's North Campus
The Chapel was one of the first Greek Revival structures in Athens, Georgia. With its six massive Doric columns and classic design, it was easily the finest building on campus and remains one of the University's most prominent and popular landmarks.

Sitting On The Steps of The Chapel on UGA's North Campus
Built in 1832, the Chapel served as a center of activity in UGAs early days. Students were required to attend a service inside every day, and this was no problem for a student body of about two hundred. A bell tower on the roof signaled class changes, but was removed in 1913. Another bell tower was added in the rear of the building, and is now primarily used to celebrate Bulldog victories on the gridiron.

As you approach the Chapel's east-facing main entrance, take note of the granite steps. This stone was locally mined. The two benches on either side of the porch are gifts from the Phi Beta Kappa Society. The wooden doors were saved from the original Chapel building and restored in 1998.

Eli Looks Mischivieous Has He Investigates the Old Chapel Bell.
This bell was cast by the Mcshane Bell Foundry of Baltimore, Md. and has resided on the UGA plaza since 1988/89. Prior to that it was in storage at Meyers hall, which for many years housed freshman and sophmore women. It is believed to have been used as a dinner bell for the dining room and was nicknamed the "Jennie Bell" in honor of Jennie Bell Meyers, the buildings namesake and the dorm's housemother for many years.

On The Steps Of The Holms Hunter Building Part 1
The University's original libaray, the Ivy Building, was completed in 1832 and then another building, referred to as Old Library, was built next door in 1862 to store books. In 1903, these two buildings were joined in a design by Prof. Charles M. Strahan with colossal Corinthian columns. In 1905, yet another library was built and this building became home to administrative offices.

Eli Under the UGA Arches
Copied from the great seal of the state of Georgia, the Arch serves as a symbol of the University. The three columns represent wisdom, justice, and moderation, and although its iron gates are long forgotten, the Arch remains a gateway to historic North Campus.
