Upsilon Delta chapter of Phi Theta Kappa

About Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society for students at two-year colleges.

“The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa shall be to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students.  To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa shall provide opportunity for the development of service and leadership, for an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.”

Phi Theta Kappa’s mission is two-fold: 1) recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students; and, 2) provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming. 

You can learn more about the international organization at www.ptk.org.
