Phi Theta Kappa is recognized by the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges as the official honor society of two-year colleges. The hallmarks of Phi Theta Kappa are Leadership, Scholarship, Fellowship and Service. Eligible students must be enrolled in an AA/AS program at Pensacola Junior College, have completed twelve semester hours of college credit at PJC, and attained a cumulative GPA of 3.5. To maintain membership, it is necessary to have a minimum GPA of 3.2. All students who meet the minimum requirements are eligible for membership and are encouraged to attend their chapter's new member orientation meeting in the beginning of the fall and spring terms. Payment of dues and other important information will be introduced at this time.

PJC has three chapters of Phi Theta Kappa:

    Melissa Roe (mroe@pjc.edu)

Phi Theta Kappa allows for many different levels of involvement. The personal rewards and satisfaction derived from membership far outweigh the time contributed to the chapter's success. Pensacola Junior College honors Phi Theta Kappa members in the graduation program at graduation ceremonies where members proudly wear the distinctive gold Phi Theta Kappa stoles and tassels. Phi Theta Kappa membership is displayed prominently on each member's official transcript. Opportunities are available as well for members to apply for Phi Theta Kappa scholarships at various colleges and universities.

Provisional membership is available for PJC students with a 3.5 documented high school GPA but less than twelve credits at PJC. These students are eligible for membership when meeting the above requirements.
