Eligibility

Phi Kappa Phi is an honor society, not an honorary society or fraternity. Membership is earned; it is a true honor.

Admission to The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter in accordance with the bylaws of both the chapter and the national organization. Both require superior scholarship and good character as criteria for membership.

• Juniors: Minimum of 72 hours earned (have been registered in The University of West Alabama for at least one year) and rank scholastically in the upper 7.5 percent of their college.

• Seniors: Minimum of 90 hours earned (have been registered in The University of West Alabama for at least one year) and rank scholastically in the upper 10 percent of their college.

• Graduate Students: Minimum of 24 hours of graduate work in residence at UWA and 3.75 or better for all college work (graduate and undergraduate combined) and graduate work.

In addition to students, the UWA chapter of Phi Kappa Phi is permitted to elect annually a small number of outstanding faculty, staff, alumnae, and alumni chosen on the basis of academic record, professional achievements, and service to higher education. These persons are nominated by chapter members and, as with the student candidates, are discussed and voted on by the members.
