PHI ALPHA THETA

The international honor society in history, Phi Alpha Theta, brings students, teachers, and writers of history together both intellectually and socially; and it encourages and assists research and publication by its members. Membership opens up fellowship opportunities, and also publication opportunities in  The Historian, the society's journal.
