Questions & Answers
What do I need to join?
You need a 3.5 GPA and at least 12 college credits.
Why do I need to pay a fee?
The $60 fee is a membership fee established by International Headquarters. It will help the organization fund for activities at various levels.
What if my grades drop below a 3.5 after I've joined?
After you've joined, you only need to maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.25. If your grade drops down below a 3.25, your membership will be temporarily "frozen" until your grades are back up.
What do I need to do after I've joined?
You don't "need" to do anything unless you want to. However, we encourage that you come to our weekly meetings to get updates on the activities we are planning. During our meetings, you will also get the chance to meet some fellow Phi Theta Kappa members and have a great time!
I can't make it to the meetings. Can I still be active?
Absolutely. Send our Public Relations officer an e-mail so he can send you regular updates. And don't forget to check the Website regularly. We will keep you posted on our events, and if there's anything that interests you, don't hesitate to contact us.
Who do I contact if I just have some general questions about Phi Theta Kappa and Highline's Pi Sigma Chapter?
Feel free to contact any of our officers or advisers. We are always more than happy to answer your questions (or find someone who can).
I got a letter saying I'm qualified for the Honors Program and Phi Theta Kappa. What's the difference between the two? Which one should I pick?
Both the Honors Program and Phi Theta Kappa are great opportunities for motivated students to gain more skills and experience. The Honors Program is a unique program established by Highline Community College. Phi Theta Kappa is the International Honor Society of the Two-Year Colleges. You don't have to pick one over the other. Many of our members are also scholars of the Honors Program.
