Phi Alpha Theta, Epsilon Pi Chapter
The membership application submission period for new applications and fees will be announced soon for Fall 2007. New initiates are inducted each year at the first Fall chapter meeting, which is TBA later.
Membership Requirements
All members of the honor society are inducted through the local Phi Alpha Theta chapter at their respective college or university. Individual memberships sent directly to the National Office are not acceptable and will be returned. The one-time initiation fee of $40.00 per student plus a $5 chapter annual chapter fee is payable at the time of initiation. This fee includes a membership certificate and four issues of our journal, The Historian . Membership in Phi Alpha Theta is a lifetime membership . Each chapter, however, may levy whatever dues or fees it deems necessary to promote its own local activities. Thereafter, there are no annual dues or fees. Members who wish to continue supporting the honor society may do so by subscribing to The Historian and/or to our newsletter.
