About Us
The Alpha chapter of the Phi Alpha Theta honors society is the founding chapter of a history honors society that provides a place for academic conversation, scholarship and conference presentation opportunities, and activities throughout the year. We are a professional society whose mission is to promote the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. We seek to bring students and academics together for intellectual and social exchanges, which promote and assist historical research and publication by our members in a variety of ways. Phi Alpha Theta has over nine hundred chapters throughout all fifty states providing numerous networking and development opportunities.
