The Society continued to grow and in the spring of 1918, was one of many honorary groups in Missouri. At a meeting of the presidents of the Missouri junior colleges for women in 1918, it was decided to organize a new honorary society, chapters of which would have a common character, stand, and similarity of organization. The name Phi Theta Kappa was chosen, and the Society was incorporated in Missouri as a national organization. Founders modeled many aspects of the new Society after the prestigious senior college honorary society, Phi Beta Kappa. For the first six years, Phi Theta Kappa was confined its activity to women’s junior colleges. In 1924, the society was enlarged to cover all junior colleges and in 1926, Phi Theta Kappa expanded beyond the borders of Missouri. The American Association of Community Colleges recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929.
