Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) recognizes the academic achievement of college students and provides opportunities for its members to grow as scholars and leaders. Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) has a presence on almost 1,300 community college campuses in 11 nations. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929. More than 4.3 million students have been inducted since 1918, with approximately 250,000 active members in the nation’s community colleges, making Phi Theta Kappa a true catalyst among members and colleges.

History of KC's Gamma Omicron Chapter

Kilgore College’s Gamma Omicron Chapter was founded on March 20, 1937 — the same year the college opened. It is one of the first 100 chapters of PTK founded in the nation, and is the 9th oldest chapter in existence today.
