Members receive the Newsletter and The Rectangle , an award-winning literary publication to which they may submit contributions. Phi Alpha Theta LMU hosts the Mu Nu Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the international honor society for Historians.
Membership is based on academic achievement.
At least twelve credit hours of History must be completed with a grade point average of at least 3.1 in all History courses and a grade point average of 3.0 in two-thirds of the other courses. After an initiation ceremony, members meet to discuss a variety of extra-curricular activities for the organization. Membership is for life and can be helpful in whatever career path you choose.
