Home / Campus Life / Student Life / Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa is an international honorary society for students of two-year colleges. The society is comprised of more than 1400 chapters internationally. Each chapter is given its own Greek name to distinguish itself from the other chapters. Jackson College’s chapter name is Alpha Rho Lambda. Phi Theta Kappa is centered around four hallmarks: Scholarship, Leadership, Fellowship and Service. Members of Phi Theta Kappa are able to apply for scholarships, utilize exclusive benefits, and have lifetime membership. Phi Theta Kappa does not require its members to be involved with their chapter. This means that each member can choose to be involved as they wish. We have members who simply accept their membership and apply for scholarships, as well as members who are chapter officers and go on to become regional officers.
