About Phi Theta Kappa
"The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa shall be to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa shall provide opportunity for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence."

Phi Theta Kappa's mission is two-fold: 1) recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and (2) provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming.
 
Membership is by Invitation Only

Letters are sent during the Fall and Spring Semesters.  All students are welcome to participate in Phi Theta Kappa, but membership in the international society  is based on the eligibility requirements listed below:

  • you must be enrolled in a regionally accredited institution offering an associate degree program;
  • you must have completed at least 12 hours of coursework that may be applied to an associate degree (part-time students may be eligible);
  • you must generally have a grade point average of 3.5;
  • you must receive an invitation to membership from the chapter at the college where presently enrolled;
  • you must adhere to the moral standards of the society.

Typically both part-time and full-time students who have met all of the academic requirements are invited to become members.
Part-time students may be eligible for membership IF they have accumulated the total number of hours over two or more academic terms used by your institution to designate full-time status (usually 12 hours on a semester system). The decision to declare part-time students eligible is an option of the local chapter and should be addressed in each chapter's bylaws. Phi Theta Kappa Headquarters strongly encourages the eligibility of part-time students, and currently 92 percent of all chapters allow part-time students to be inducted.
 
International students are welcome to become members. They must achieve the required GPA, have accumulated the number of hours required by the college to designate full-time status, and possess all rights of citizenship in their native land.

What is an Honor Society?

An honor society exists to recognize and encourage superior scholarship and achievement. Phi Theta Kappa is an academic honor society made up of a group of diverse individuals who share a common commitment to learning and a proven record of academic success. An invitation to Phi Theta Kappa recognizes your academic excellence among your peers.
