REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP
UNDERGRADUATE
An undergraduate student must have at least a 3.1 in all history courses, a minimum of four history courses, and a 3.0 in all other courses.
A graduate
student must have completed at least one-third of the residence requirements for the
Masters Degree before becoming eligible for election to membership. Averages in all courses completed for graduate
credit must be at least midway between the highest and second highest grade on the working
scale and no grade in the graduate record may be failure or its equivalent. In institutions which do not have the traditional
ABCD grade system, the judgment of the Chair of the Department of History or the history
faculty shall determine eligibility on the basis of equivalency with the above standards.
Faculty members with the rank of instructor or above who are
teaching in the field of history are eligible for membership without being required to
satisfy provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this section.
Initiation into a
chapter of Phi Alpha Theta confers lifetime membership upon the individual. Payment of the
initiation fee is the only financial expense for membership on the international level.
However, there are three means of continuing to actively support
the projects of Phi Alpha Theta. Sustaining Membership, an annual contribution of $35,
entitles the individual to receive The Historian
and The News Letter for one year with the
balance exceeding subscription costs added to the endowment fund. A one year subscription
rate to The Historian only is $20. There is also
a $10 option, which entitles a member to receive three issues of The News Letter.
