Phi-Theta Kappa International Honor Society (PTK)

Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education with more than 1.3 million members and 1100 chapters located in the United States and around the world.  In 1929, the American Association of Community Colleges recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two-year colleges.  The society’s programs center on four hallmarks: scholarship, leadership, fellowship, and service.  The complement of services, innovative programs, and membership benefits offered by Phi Theta Kappa today are unequaled among honor societies.

Both part-time and full-time students, and international students may be eligible for membership.  Membership requires completion of at least 12 hours of college credit coursework and a minimum cumulative GPA of at least 3.50.  DACC’s Pi Omega Chapter is very active and has won several awards at both the regional and international levels.  For more information or to join, please contact Ronnie Johnson at ptk@dacc.edu at 217-443-8869, or visit Phi Theta Kappa International's web site at www.ptk.org.
