Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of the two-year college. Since its founding in 1918, the purpose of Phi Theta Kappa has been to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, the society provides opportunity for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.

Members are recognized internationally for their academic achievements and honored at graduation ceremonies by the wearing of honor cords. Membership may open up opportunities for scholarships for those students wanting to transfer to a four-year college or university.
