History

Established by Missouri two-year college presidents in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society serves to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and provide opportunities for individual growth and development through honors, leadership and service programming. Today, Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education with more than 2 million members and 1,200 chapters located in 50 United States, U.S. territories, Canada and Germany. In 1929, the American Association of Community Colleges recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two year colleges.

The ASCC Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, The Alpha Epsilon Mu, was established in 1979 at Mapusaga Campus, with Falefatu Alailima Utu, former Attorney General of American Samoa, as its first chapter president.
