New Member FAQ

What are expectations for ΦKΦ membership?
Members may choose to be as involved as they like. Each year one student serves as student vice president on our executive board. Faculty, staff, and administrator members may wish to serve on the executive board or a chapter committee.  Others choose only to participate in the handful of service activities we offer on each of our campuses. 

Will I get to wear graduation recognition items at graduation?
Yes! If you join Phi Kappa Phi, you are eligible to purchase and wear recognition items at graduation. Information about the items can be found on our site. There are no restrictions on recognition items at TWU: you could buy and wear all three recognition items. If you are wearing a stole from another honor society, you could choose to wear the cords and/or the medallion to represent ΦKΦ.  Texas Woman's requires a uniformed tassel to be displayed at commencement.  The PKP tassel may be used as a decoration (eg. car rear view mirror, framed certificate, etc.).

Where does my initiation fee go?
The initiation fee supports the activities and management of the chapter.

What is the cost of annual renewal?
Once you join Phi Kappa Phi, you are a member for life. You are either an active or an inactive member. Active means dues paid. To be eligible for any of the national awards, you must be an active member. The annual renewal price is $35 for national dues. The annual chapter dues renewal fee is $20. There are member-for-life rates at both the national and the chapter level.

What is the deadline to join?
New member registration will open each fall and the deadline will be made available then.
