Phi Beta Kappa

Hey guys, So apparently Phi Beta Kappa is the nations oldest and most "prestigious" honors society. Word of warning, I know nothing about "greek life". But this sounds interesting, It's an invite only society and i received an invitation, so did 5 other students in my major. Has anyone heard of this society? It completely caught me off guard and i don't know why i was selected to join it. What is selection based on? How will this help me advance my professional career? Thanks guy!
