Eligibility for membership in PTK

Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society

Phi Theta Kappa membership guarantees you access to more benefits than any other student organization. As a member, your academic excellence will be recognized with the membership certificate and identification card, and notation of membership on your transcripts. As a member you will have the option of purchasing regalia, (PTK gold tassel and stole), that can be worn at graduation to distinguish you as a Phi Theta Kappa member.

Membership provides exclusive access to the Phi Theta Kappa network, a compilation of innovative and interactive benefits that will support you in college and in life.

Candidates with a 3.5 GPA or better, that adhere to the school conduct code and possess recognized qualities of citizenship will be invited by GCC President, Robert Pura to join Alpha Sigma Omicron chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year colleges.

Each candidate for membership must have completed 12 semester hours of associate degree work, with a GPA of 3.5 or better. A GPA of 3.25 or better must be maintained to continue membership. Candidates may be full or part time students at GCC.
Membership is by invitation only; eligible students may not join the society outside of the scheduled spring and fall enrollment invitation periods. The membership fee must accompany the completed application.

To learn more about the opportunities that accompany Phi Theta Kappa membership, contact Bob LaPalme, PTK advisor, room N-237A, ext. 1204 or email lapalme@gcc.mass.edu for more information.
