Phi Theta Kappa was founded in 1918 and is recognized as the official honor society for two-year colleges by the American Association of Community Colleges.

Students have many opportunities to be involved in scholarly research, fellowship, community service, and leadership roles, in addition to receiving scholarships.

If students think they are eligible, but they did not receive an invitation letter, they should contact their advisor by e-mail with their name and P00 number.

PTK staff can look up their records and get back to them.

There is also a one-time membership fee the students will pay of $100.
