Phi Theta Kappa (PTK)

Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of two-year colleges. It's the largest honor society in American higher education, with more than 1.5 million members and 1,200 chapters located in all 50 states and abroad. Phi Theta Kappa has become one of the largest and most prestigious honor societies in the world!

Phi Theta Kappa provides an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas and ideals, opportunities for the development of leadership and service, lively fellowship of scholars, and stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.
