Requirements to Join
To join the Beta Kappa Lambda chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, members must meet the following requirements:
- 12 credits completed at Aims (i.e.,on the student transcript)
- 3.5 minimum cumulative GPA
Procedure for Joining Phi Theta Kappa
An Aims PTK advisor first loads the names and contact information of eligible Aims students into the PTK Headquarters site. Shortly thereafter, the eligible student receives an email from PTK Headquarters inviting the student to follow a link within the PTK website to join. It is at that time that the student pays $80.00. PTK then notifies the Aims chapter advisor of the new member, and the advisor sends a welcome letter letting the member know about meetings and upcoming events. If you need assistance paying your dues we may be able to help. Please contact us at phithetakappa@aims.edu for more information.
