National Honor Societies
Phi Kappa Phi
Chartered in Spring 1990, Wright State Chapter #252 of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi recognizes
juniors, seniors, and graduate students from all majors who rank near the top of their classes. The National Society, headquartered in Baton Rouge, LA, has an attractive scholarship and award program. Membership
in Phi Kappa Phi is an honor that lasts a lifetime.
Phi Theta Kappa
An honorary society for two-year colleges, Phi Theta Kappa, chartered
an alumni chapter at Wright State in 1993. Phi Theta Kappans who transfer
to Wright State to complete their baccalaureate may apply for a $1500
(one-year renewable) scholarship. The Honors Program encourages the participation
of Phi Theta Kappa members, particularly in departmental Honors. Honors
courses completed at other institutions will count toward completion of
Honors degree requirements at Wright State. Consult with the Honors advisor.
Alpha Lambda Delta

University College. Membership is by invitation only to students who earn
a 3.5 GPA or better during their first year. Approximately 100 students

eighteen to twenty $3,000 graduate fellowships that are offered each year.
