At first glance, the statistics may seem a bit overwhelming: 2 million members in more than 1,250 chapters with more than $37 million in transfer scholarships available to members at over 700 four-year colleges and universities.

The commitment to academic excellence, service to others and leadership Phi Theta Kappa instills in its members are values that truly remain in us throughout life.
