Phi Alpha Theta Phi Alpha Theta is an international honor society in history. lt was organ- ized at the University of Arkansas on March 17th, 1921. Since that time it has grown to include more than five hundred chapters in all fifty states, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Philippine Islands, and the District of Columbia. It is the largest, in number of chapters, of the accredited honor societies holding membership in the Association of College Honor Societies. Phi Alpha Theta has membership requirements second only to those of Phi Beta Kappa, and the number of its initiates since organization is more than 70,000. Phi Alpha Theta’s membership is comprised of students and professors elected to the society upon the basis of excellence in the study or writing of history. Any student of history may become a member by maintaining a high standard of work in his or her studies. At the same time, Phi Alpha Theta is a professional society the objective of which is the promotion of the study of history by the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication, and the exchange of learning and thought among historians. It seeks to bring stu- dents, teachers, and writers of history together, both intellectually and socially, and it encourages and assists, in a variety of ways, historical research and publication by its members. The McNeese chapter of Phi Alpha Theta is Phi-Pi, established in 1974. 195
