A business operations analyst intern at CSRA, Inc., Luca Simmons divides his time between his professional responsibilities and studying for a bachelor of business administration at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Having previously studied at such institutions as the American University of Rome and the U.S. Air Force Academy, Luca Simmons has a track record of academic success and he belongs to the Phi Theta Kappa honor society.
Students can only join Phi Theta Kappa if they receive a membership invitation from their local chapter. These invitations are given out based on a student’s academic achievement and are only available to those individuals who meet the organization’s eligibility requirements.
To be eligible, students must be enrolled at an institution that offers an associate’s degree and have at least 12 hours of associate’s degree coursework completed. Students are also expected to have a grade point average of 3.5. Since this number is the minimum that is required by the organization, some chapters may request a higher GPA.
Assuming students meet all the eligibility requirements and receive an invitation for membership, they can submit a membership application. Once an application is approved, students must sign an oath stating that they will follow Phi Theta Kappa’s moral standards. They are subsequently recorded as a member at the organization’s headquarters and are granted the privileges, benefits, and rights of full members.
