All eligible students receive an invitation to join once each semester. Invitations are sent out the semester following when criteria are met.
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is an international honor society of two-year colleges, and two-year academic programs. It's the largest honor society in American higher education, with more than 1.5 million members and 1,200 chapters located in all 50 states and abroad. PTK is also one of the largest collegiate honors societies world-wide.
Phi Theta Kappa is built on four pillars, or hallmarks that each chapter strives to capture in each of its activities:
- Scholarship: Academic study or achievement; learning of a high level.
- Leadership: The state or position of being a leader.
