Phi Theta Kappa

What is Phi Theta Kappa?

Phi Theta Kappa, founded in 1918, is recognized as the official honor society by the American Association of Community Colleges. Among the society's distinguished alumni are the late Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, astronaut Fred Haise, and journalist Jim Lehrer. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa will be to recognize and encourage scholarship among students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa shall provide an opportunity for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.

We are the PSI KAPPA CHAPTER of St. Philip's College's Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. We welcome you to our chapter and encourage you to take advantage of all the opportunities. We salute our members for their accomplishments and charge them to explore for truth and dedicate themselves to cultivating a well-reasoned life, a prelude to service and honor!
