Membership
Requirements
History
Club
The
History club is open to all students at UTPB regardless of major.
Phi
Alpha Theta
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. Our one-time initiation
fee of $40.00 per student 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.
