Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society

Phi Theta Kappa, founded in 1918, is recognized as the official honor society for community colleges by the American Association of Community Colleges.

Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities through Honors in Action to develop critical skills like problem solving, project planning, team building, effective communication, and conflict resolution. However, members are not required to participate in chapter activities or programs.

Membership is based on academic achievement and is conferred by invitation of the local chapter. All of the following criteria must be met:

  • Students must be currently enrolled
  • Have completed at least 12 credits that may be applied to an associate degree
  • Have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society has four local chapters at Cuyahoga Community College

  • Alpha Epsilon Eta at the Eastern Campus
  • Alpha Zeta Delta at the Metropolitan Campus
  • Chi Omega at the Western Campus
  • Beta Upsilon Beta at the Westshore Campus

Note: you may join a chapter other than the one from which you receive your invitation letter; just contact the advisor of the chapter you wish to join (see list below) before you submit your membership application.
