Building a solid membership base is the first step in chapter development. Phi Theta Kappa membership provides tremendous opportunities for members including recognition for academic excellence, millions of dollars in scholarships for continuing education, and a myriad of benefits and programs to enhance each member’s life as a scholar and leader in the community and the workplace.
To assist chapters in effectively communicating these benefits of membership, the Society provides many resources to increase visibility on campus and promote membership to eligible students. Many of these resources are sent to faculty advisors at the beginning of each academic term. Others are available online. If you have questions about membership recruitment, orientation, or induction, email member.services@ptk.org, or call 800.946.9995.
