How to specify Phi Beta Kappa membership? I am writing a letter of recommendation for a student whose record includes membership in the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.  How do I express this?


Jane was named to Phi Beta Kappa.
Jane was awarded Phi Beta Kappa.
Jane earned Phi Beta Kappa.
Jane was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.


Or something else?
"Inducted" is the term normally associated with the process of joining an honor society, whether it is a group such as Phi Beta Kappa or Tau Beta Pi, or a professional society such as the National Academy of Science, or even something cultural, like a sports hall of fame.

As a usage note, though, the term "inducted" is normally accompanied by a temporal reference.
