Honor Society

Phi Alpha Theta

Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society, has had a presence at Suffolk since 1962 in the form of its Theta Lambda Chapter. It is composed of both faculty and student members. Student membership is determined by the completion of at least 20 semester hours of History courses with an average of 3.6, plus a general cumulative average of 3.5. Transferred credits cannot be counted in the requirements. Invitations to membership are extended in the spring, and induction will take place at the annual reception for graduating History majors and minors at the end of April.
