Faculty Advisors: When planning the date for your initiation ceremony, keep in mind the National Office requires a minimum of 3 weeks for processing (not including shipping) before mailing the certificates to you.

Certificates will be mailed to the faculty advisor for distribution to the students at the initiation ceremony. New members will receive a membership certificate and a one-year subscription to our quarterly journal, The Historian, and their names will be published in The Historian approximately six months after initiation.

To submit initiates, you must:

  • Email a typewritten list to info@phialphatheta.org:  the list should contain each new member’s name, home mailing address, and email address (preferably a non-edu address). To avoid a $10 reprinting fee, please carefully proofread the list of names. To help you collect this information, use this form (but you do not need to submit this form to us).

  • Include the induction ceremony date:  If the initiation date is not specified on your list, we will print the date your correspondence was received.

  • Payment: National dues are $50 per new member (plus an additional $5.00 for shipping per induction batch). Membership fees can be paid by check, money order, or by Visa or MasterCard credit card. Memberships will not be processed until payment is received.
