Phi Theta KappaPhi Theta Kappa is the International Community (and 2-year) College
academic honor society. Its primary purposes are to recognize outstanding
academic achievement at the community college level; to enhance academic
development through the Honors Topic; to develop leadership skills in its
members; and to offer a variety of community service activities.
Some of the benefits of membership are described in the
Benefits Brochure. You may want to obtain more information via the International Phi Theta Kappa website http://www.ptk.org
You can also contact officers and members of our chapter http://asaptk.org
Minimum requirements for membership are:
• current enrollment at De Anza College with at least 3
letter-grade units (pass/fail units are not acceptable)
• a minimum of 18 letter grade units already completed at
DAC (known as the cumulative "GPA Hours"; do not use the "Earned
hours", as this includes pass/fail units, which do not count towards your
GPA) (coursework at another college -even Foothill- is not applicable)
• a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.50
Membership enrollment can be completed on-line and paid for
with a credit card. A special membership code number is required, and is sent
directly to you by email for your use.
One-time Membership Dues of $90.00 is assessed to complete your
membership process. This is a lifetime membership. When you submit an on-line
application, please enter your name exactly as you want it to appear on your
membership card and certificate.
If you miss this opportunity to become a member, you can
become a member during the following quarter; however, at that time you will
have to initiate contact with me, as it is very possible you will not receive a
duplicate email invitation in that next term.
Chapter meetings for this Winter 2012 term are on Fridays,
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM in room S-45.
You are welcome to attend.
Here are some typical questions and answers that arise when considering becoming a member of the organization: Frequently Asked Questions
If you are submitting a paper application, you will need to
submit the following three items:
1. your
application form - membership application forms can be downloaded by clicking
on New Member Application Form. Make sure you write legibly,
especially your name (which will appear on your certificate exactly the way you
write it), your DAC assigned student ID # , your email address, [be extremely
careful to distinguish between - (dash) and _ (underscore), etc.], and your
phone #. Inability to read your handwriting will delay your application.
2. your
dues: either a bank check or money order -for $90.00 payable to Alpha Sigma
Alpha Chapter -or cash; (previously some student's personal checks have
bounced, and this can become a real problem for both the organization and the
student. If you submit a personal check AND IT BOUNCES, it is a felony, and
will be prosecuted if necessary by the Chapter, College, & District
Attorney) 3. a
copy of your De Anza transcript (download from the DAC Website)-which must show
your name and student ID#. Do not purchase an official transcript - the downloaded
version will do just fine.
You can drop off these items at the office of Mehrdad
Khosravi (of the PSME Division) in office S42A (khosravimehrdad@deanza.edu ; phone 864 5384). Your paper application materials should be
turned in by the morning of February 17 of this quarter. However, if it is
turned in later, your application may not be processed in time; If you wait
until the following quarter (the quarter after this one, excluding summer) then
at that time you must be registered as a student at De Anza College for your
application to be processed.
