To qualify for membership in Phi Theta Kappa, a student must be enrolled full-time in an associate degree program, have completed at least 12 hours of college-level coursework, and have a minimum 3.5 grade point average. A college’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter extends membership invitations to students meeting these criteria.

The award-winning Alpha Iota Chi chapter has achieved five-star status, the highest level of participation in Phi Theta Kappa activities. The chapter recently hosted “A Gift of Freedom from Substance Abuse: A Conversation about Opioid Addiction to address the opioid addiction crisis in the region. Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education with 1,200 chapters on two-year and community college campuses in all 50 of the United States and four countries.
