Frequently Asked Questions about Membership
How much time will being a member take?
The time a member devotes to Phi Theta Kappa is a matter of individual choice. Some Phi Theta Kappa members choose to devote many hours to chapter activities; others may elect to not participate at all. Phi Theta Kappa's Constitution requires only that a prospective inductee make and maintain certain GPAs. No service activities may be required of new or old members; nor can the chapter withhold any benefits (i.e., wearing honors stole; receiving scholarship recommendations).
What about fees?
As of September 1, 2004, the Phi Theta Kappa International Membership fee is $45. It is paid only once. Members are also required to pay a one-time regional fee. To find out what your regional fees are, visit the Regions Directory and select your region from the pull-down menu. In addition, many chapters elect to charge a local fee to help with the expenses of operating their chapter. To find the contact information of chapters in your area, visit the Chapter Directory and select your state from the pull-down menu.
What if I move after being inducted into Phi Theta Kappa? How do I update my address with Headquarters?
Members and other Society constituents can easily update their address information with Headquarters by using the On-Line Change of Address Form.
Also, visit the Phi Theta Kappa Enrollment Form to ensure that you have submitted your graduate/transfer date, major and other important information to us. Completing and updating the Enrollment Form will help ensure that you will be considered for scholarships and that you will have access to exclusive membership benefits.
I'd like to stay involved as an Alumni after I graduate. How do I find out more about Alumni resources?
