National History
Phi Theta Kappa was founded in 1918 by eight junior college presidents in Missouri intended to unite the student members with a common purpose emphasizing scholarly and leadership activities.
In 1929, The American Association of Junior Colleges (now known as the American Association of Community Colleges or AACC) officially recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the national honor society for junior colleges.
