Phi Theta Kappa
Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society for students
in two-year colleges. The society honors and encourages academic excellence and high character
among community college students.
Phi Theta Kappa Crest
The Alpha Delta Pi Chapter of Brookhaven College provides opportunity to develop leadership and service,
fosters an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas or ideals, promotes lively fellowship among scholars,
and stimulates interest in the continuation of academic excellence.
Phi Theta Kappa members are attractive candidates for many scholarships from prestigious universities around
the United States. A great many scholarships are specifically designated for Phi Theta Kappa members, and
members are included in Phi Theta Kappa’s transfer database, given to recruiters at senior institutions.
Soon after joining, a membership certificate, an identification card and a membership pin are mailed to new
members directly from the organization’s headquarters. Phi Theta Kappans receive informative publications,
are automatically included on the National Dean’s List, and have the privilege of wearing the society’s stole
and tassel at graduation.
Phi Theta Kappa Key
We realize that students have many other responsibilities to fulfill; nevertheless, we welcome them to
participate at whatever level they can. We encourage all members and prospective members to meet with us and
to participate in activities that promote our chapter’s goals. While member meetings are usually scheduled
twice a month, two informative orientation meetings for new members and an induction ceremony are scheduled
around the middle of each semester.
To be eligible to join PTK, a student must:
- have already completed at least 12 hours of college or university credit courses, here at Brookhaven
College, or within the Dallas County Community College District,
- have a GPA of at least 3.5,
- be willing to pay the one-time membership fee (currently $50), and
- be enrolled in at least one credit course at Brookhaven College on the day the application is received.
This means the course must have already begun, but must not have ended.
