Why should I join Phi Alpha Theta?

  • It shows that you are an above average student who has excelled in his/her studies

  • It honors your academic accomplishments

  • You will meet other students with interests similar to yours

  • It provides you with leadership opportunities

What do I need to join?

  • You need to have completed twelve hours (four classes) in history. If you have completed three classes and are currently enrolled in a fourth, that's o.k.

  • You need to have a cumulative grade point average of 3.1 in your history classes.

  • If you meet the above requirements, fill out the Phi Alpha Theta membership application and submit it with a $40.check to one of the chapter advisors or one of the chapter officers. Also attach an unofficial copy of your Mesa State College transcript. The $40.00 is for a lifetime membership in one of the oldest and most prestigious honorary society's in the nation!

What then?

  • You get initiated! Most semester's our chapter holds an impressive honorary society initiation. However, you are welcome to fully participate in the group's activities before the official initiation. Once you've filled out your application and paid your lifetime dues, consider yourself a member in good standing.

What do we do?

  • We sponsor historical activities, lectures, films with discussion and commentary, field trips, and social activities. We attend both state and national conferences. You may be as active in the group as you wish.

What if I still have questions?
