Phi Theta Kappa
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is an international honor society for two-year colleges whose mission is to recognize and encourage scholarship among college students. Since 1918, this prestigious organization has provided professional and leadership development, scholarship access and engagement opportunities for more than 3 million members worldwide.
Membership
Students who achieve outstanding academic achievement are eligible for membership. Criteria include the completion of 12 semester credits and a minimum grade point average of 3.4.
FVCC’s local chapter, Alpha Iota Pi, provides members with opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in the four hallmarks of Phi Theta Kappa: scholarship, leadership, fellowship and service.
Benefits

- Fellowship: Members are provided several opportunities to participate in social activities throughout the school year.
