the development of leadership and service,
an intellectual climate for the exchange of

personal enrichment of the student through
unique educational experiences and

Phi Theta Kappa was founded seventy
years ago in Senior Hall at Stephens
College in Columbia, Missouri in 1918.
The fraternity grew rapidly and was
recognized by the American Association of
Junior Colleges on November 19, 1929.
Phi Theta Kappa is the honor fraternity for
two-year colleges.
In 1987, Phi Theta Kappa set new
records for the most chapters charted in a
year, 31; and for the most members
initiated, 32,500.
The emblem of Phi Theta Kappa is a
golden key. Across the center is a black
band upon which the Greek letters “Phi,
“Theta,” and “Kappa” appear. Behind
the band is a wreath of oak and laurel
leaves, denoting strength and leadership;
above it is the head of Athena, symbolizing
wisdom. Below the band are the three
letters symbolizing the Greek words
“phronimon,” “theumos.” and
“katharotes” (wisdom, aspiration,
purity).
