Phi Kappa Phi is not an honorary society or fraternity. Membership is earned; it is a true honor. Meeting Phi Kappa Phi's criteria reflect scholarly excellence which, in turn, merits the distinction of membership. Admission is invitation-only and requires nomination approval by Stanislaus State Chapter 282. Requirements include:

  • Juniors must have completed at least 72 credit hours, with at least 24 semester hours at Stanislaus State, and rank in the top 7.5 percent of their major.
  • Seniors must have completed at least 90 credit hours, with at least 24 semester hours at Stanislaus State, and rank in the top 10 percent of their major.
  • Graduate students must have completed at least 18 graduate hours or the equivalent at Stanislaus State and rank in the top 10 percent of their major.
  • Faculty, professional staff, and alumni who achieve scholarly distinction may also be eligible.

Because of their outstanding records, members of Phi Kappa Phi often are preferred candidates for grants, scholarships, and fellowships from institutions where they may continue their education or do research. When they seek jobs, they find their Phi Kappa Phi membership is widely accepted as an indicator of academic ability and motivation.
