Phi Theta Kappa is the premier international honor society for two-year colleges. Its primary function is to recognize and promote scholastic achievement in community, technical, and junior college students. Based on four hallmarks (Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship), Phi Theta Kappa offers students more than just a membership certificate; it is an active organization with opportunities for fun and service both on- and off-campus.

The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) recognized Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929. If you receive an email from another honor society asking you to join and pay membership dues, it may be a scam.

PTK is the only legitimate honor society for two-year colleges that will contact you if you are eligible for membership. PTK communications will be sent from email addresses ending in @ptk.org.

If you have any questions, or receive an invitation from someone outside of Chesapeake College asking you to join an honor society, please reach out to Chesapeake’s PTK Advisor, Carrie Arnold, at [email protected] for guidance.
