Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for two year colleges. Alpha Epsilon Omega has been a local chapter of the Greater Northwest Region at North Seattle Community College (NSCC) since we were chartered in 1980. Members of Phi Theta Kappa have the opportunity to enhance their lives by participating in activities which promote the four society hallmarks: Leadership, Scholarship, Fellowship and Service.
Membership in Phi Theta Kappa carries key advantages for two-year college students. With a diverse membership, the Phi Theta Kappa Society offers you support from fellow scholars of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, economic levels and fields of study who share a variety of interests and ideas.
