Welcome to Phi Alpha Theta

Welcome to the home page of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honors society at FIU. This site will provide you with relevant information on who we are and what we do.

Our Mission Statement

To enlighten and to celebrate.
 
That is our chapter motto: "To enlighten and to celebrate". And that's what we try to do with every meeting and event! We want to enlighten our friends and members with interesting and in depth knowledge from this beautiful and varied subject which is history. We also want to celebrate history, not just by reading it but experiencing it fully with a vast array of events, from historical tours and trips to enjoying historical movies and meetings that deal with all historical topics--from ancient to personal. It's fun and contagious. You have to be a part of it!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO COME TO ANY OR ALL OF OUR MEETINGS!! SWING BY, BE ENLIGHTENED, AND CELEBRATE WITH US!!

"We are a professional society whose mission is to promote the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. We seek to bring students, teachers and writers of history together for intellectual and social exchanges, which promote and assist historical research and publication by our members in a variety of ways."

History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.
