Phi Sigma Tau Honor Society

Phi Sigma Tau was founded at Muhlenberg College in 1930 as Alpha Kapa Alpha, with chapters at colleges in Maryland and Pennsylvania.  It
remained in this regional status until October of 1955, when it was incorporated as  Phi Sigma Tau, a National Honor Society in Philosophy.  Its essential purpose was and is to promote ties among philosophy departments in accredited institutions and students in philosophy nationally.  Both on the local and national levels,   Phi Sigma Tau considers its organization as instrumental:  a means of awarding distinction to students having high scholarship and interest in philosophy, the society also promotes interest in philosophy among the general collegiate  public.
