Accreditation Program

Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity expects that all chapters and their members will significantly contribute to society, Fraternity, and God. We have created a Chapter Accreditation Program that will evaluate the five developmental areas of the Fraternity.  The Accreditation Program is created to ensure that the individual member gets a meaningful experience which is provided by their chapter.  We expect that all Phi Kappa Theta chapters are accredited each year and chapters and individuals will be recognized for achievements and accomplishments which will be reflected through this process.

The questions are broken down by the five developmental areas; Fraternal, Intellectual, Leadership, Social, and Spiritual. Each question answered will receive a letter grade which will be based on a 4.0 scale. Grades will be given based on responses and accurate, organized, and specific documentation which should be provided. This documentation should be tangible and includes, but is not limited to, videos, news articles, signed letters from a third party/university officials/organization representatives, agendas, and executive summaries.
