To encourage greater chapter activity and interest in the field of History, Phi Alpha Theta presents annual Best Chapter Awards for exceptional activities and projects sponsored by local chapters. The awards consist of $250 grants for the purchase of books for the chapters' college/university libraries.

Click here for Best Chapter Activities or email Phi Alpha Theta National Headquarters for a list of suggested activities.

Chapters are divided into six divisions according to student enrollment:

  • Division I under 3,000 students
  • Division II 3,001 to 6,000 students
  • Division III 6,001 to 10,000 students
  • Division IV 10,001 to 15,000 students
  • Division V 15,001 to 23,000 students
  • Division VI over 23,000 students

Chapters that have received the Best Chapter Award five or more times will now compete for the Nels A. Cleven Award.

All chapters wishing to compete for a Best Chapter Award must submit:

  • A scrapbook or DVD containing: newspaper clippings, reports, photographs, and any items exhibiting the scope of chapter activities during the year in a binder or photo album. All chapter endeavors should be listed such as hosting, or attending regional meetings. Since we often use pictures from Best Chapter notebooks in our Newsletter, please make sure that photos submitted are not too dark for printing. (NOTE: Your entry should not exceed 11 inches by 14 inches in size.) This applies to both award categories.
  • Letter indicating total student enrollment for placement in the proper division.
  • Cleven Award applicants: the letter should indicate both total student enrollment and the number of times the Best Chapter Award has been received.
