Phi Theta Kappa?
Posted on October 21st, 2007 by John Setzler
I got an invitation to join Phi Theta Kappa today. I know what it is, but I’m having a hard time understanding the benefit of me joining this organization. There is a lot of scholarship money that they offer their members, but it looks like a large majority of it is for two-year college students who are planning to transfer to a four-year school immediately after graduation. Can someone tell me if there is any benefit for me beyond being able to put it on a resume? That alone may be worth the membership…
Hey there! Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to chime in. I also received an invite to join PTK. I think you’re right - it’s mostly for students transferring to Universities, and could look good on a resume.
However, my past experience with “honor societies” similar to these is that it’s not worth much in the “real world.” I’m going to pass on my invitation, but I am honored to have received it! :)
