<p>One benefit of PTK is that you automatically qualify for a number of transfer scholarships. You can read through the website to learn more about the organization [Phi</a> Theta Kappa - Honor Society](<a href=“http://www.ptk.org/]Phi”>http://www.ptk.org/)</p>

<p>Yeah the scholarships is the only reason. It really seems shady to me. Don’t get me wrong I joined but it just seems dumb. I had to pay 100 bucks to join some club for people with 3.5+ gpas. Why can’t the transfer schools just see I have a 3.5+ gpa when I apply? I dunno. A couple of my transfer options give scholarships for PTK. It just seems like an unnecessary expense.</p>

<p>The requirements to join this honor society is 12 credits and 3.5 GPA. But i’ve read that you couldn’t haven taken remedial courses. Let’s say I qualify for everything, but took ONE remedial course, do I get disqualified?</p>
