Phi Alpha Theta was established at the University of Arkansas in 1921. Phi Alpha Theta promotes the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication, and the exchange of learning and ideas. About three dozen annual regional meetings provide forums for undergraduate and graduate students to present papers and exchange ideas while advancing Phi Alpha Theta’s fellowship and the historical profession in general. Since its inauguration, Phi Alpha Theta has grown to more than 839 chapters in 50 states, more than any other accredited four-year college honor society. The total number of initiates since 1921 is more than 281,000.
