Connecting history scholars across the globe through local communities of excellence
Phi Alpha Theta chapters are the heart of our organization, bringing together over 89,000 passionate history students and scholars at colleges and universities across the globe. Each chapter serves as a vibrant community where members engage in scholarly activities, attend conferences, present research, and connect with fellow history enthusiasts who share their dedication to understanding the past.
Our chapters are established and maintained at fully-accredited four-year colleges and universities, creating local communities of historical scholarship and academic excellence. From small liberal arts colleges to major research universities, Phi Alpha Theta chapters provide students with opportunities to present their research, network with professionals in the field, and develop lasting friendships with peers who share their passion for history.
