About

Chartered as its own region in 1987, New England is one of 29 regions that make up the Phi Theta Kappa organization, and is also one of six in Division I, along with the Carolinas, the Middle States (our sister region), New York, Ohio, and Virginia.
Phi Theta Kappa
Founded in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society serving the top students in two-year programs of study, specifically at community and junior colleges. Members aim to maintain continued excellence in the four Hallmark areas of Phi Theta Kappa: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship. Phi Theta Kappa is the largest collegiate honor society, with more than 1,200 chapters across four continents and more than 2 million members inducted since its founding.

The Region’s Role
The New England Region assists chapters with furthering the Society’s ideals amongst their membership, colleges, and communities through the use of Phi Theta Kappa programming. It accomplishes this through personal involvement with each chapter, communication facilitation with Phi Theta Kappa International, and special programs and events throughout the year.
The members of the New England Region are served by a peer-elected student officer team, a regional coordinator appointed by Phi Theta Kappa International, the Regional Advisory Board, and the New England Region Alumni Association.
