Dear History majors,
Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honors Society, is a nationally recognized organization that promotes the study of history and values of intellectual integrity.
If you have an overall GPA of 3.0 and above, and have taken more than four History courses at Queens College with no grade lower than B- and at least one grade of A- and above in your history courses, you are eligible to apply.
Membership in the society recognizes your academic ability, and can be listed on your CV as an honor.
From this year, membership dues are $65, which include a membership certificate and four issues of the journal The Historian. This is a lifetime membership (there are no annual dues or fees afterwards).
Phi Alpha Theta organizes regional conferences every year. I will send further information when NY state conferences are announced. While membership is not necessary to present at these conferences, if you are a member you are eligible for awards and prizes, and may apply for limited travel funds from the History department to present.
Memberships are accepted on a rolling basis and inductions take place at the end of the Spring semester. I have attached a membership application to this email if you are interested and want to find out more!
All best,
Prof. Bregoli
