What is Phi Theta Kappa?

Summary of Bylaws

• Incoming freshmen may join as provisional members before they have completed 12 units at SCC. Evidence of at least a 3.5 high school GPA must be provided. Once 12 units have been completed, a provisional member may become an official member and any hours completed during provisional membership may be applied towards an enhanced membership status.
• Members must donate at least 5 hours of time per semester to be considered for scholarships and graduation regalia (enhanced membership). Attending a meeting counts as one hour.
• All officers must have at least a 3.5 GPA and be enrolled in at least 6 units.

What are the benefits of being a member?

Members have access to numerous scholarships nationwide, including almost $30 million in scholarships reserved by transfer institutions for Phi Theta Kappans exclusively.

Phi Theta Kappans receive transcript notation and special diploma seal, as well as special recognition at graduation.
