What are the benefits of membership?
Membership in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society will open new doors for your academic journey. The organization offers a myriad of opportunities for scholarships, intellectual enrichment, and personal development through programs based on Phi Theta Kappa’s four hallmarks of:
As a member, your academic excellence will be recognized with the Golden Key Membership Pin, membership certificate and identification card, notation of membership on your diploma and transcripts and the privilege of wearing regalia at graduation that sets you apart as a Phi Theta Kappa member.
What are the membership requirements? To be eligible for membership you must have completed 12 hours of coursework leading to a degree and have a GPA of 3.35 or higher.
How do I become a member? The only way to join is online. If you meet the requirements you will receive an invitation with a passcode. Simply go to the PTK.org website and click on "Log in" and then click on "Accept membership". You will use the pass-code you received from your invitation this current semester.

What is required to maintain membership: After induction, members must simply maintain a GPA of 3.0 to remain an active member.
Is participation a requirement? Active participation in the chapter is not a requirement. There are no service activities required to maintain membership benefits.
