CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Kristin Aloi, a senior on the North Carolina gymnastics team, has been inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the prestigious academic honorary society. Aloi was one of 120 UNC students inducted on Nov. 25.
Aloi is from Winston-Salem, N.C., and currently is enrolled in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, working toward her doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree. She completed her undergraduate degree in psychology.
Aloi competes for UNC in the all-around. During her career, she has earned All-EAGL Tournament honors in floor and beam and EAGL All-Academic honors. She did not compete during the 2013 season due to injury.
Phi Beta Kappa membership is open to undergraduates who meet stringent academic requirements. A student who has completed 75 hours of course work and has a grade-point average of 3.85 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is eligible membership. Also eligible is any student who has competed 105 hours of course work and has a 3.75 grade-point average. Less than one percent of all college students qualify to be members.
Past and present Phi Beta Kappa members from across the country have included six American presidents, 12 U.S. Supreme Court justices and numerous artistic, intellectual and political leaders. There are 270 Phi Beta Kappa chapters nationwide. UNC's chapter, Alpha of North Carolina, was founded in 1904 and is the oldest of six chapters in the state.
