Theta Alpha Kappa Honor Society

Eligible St. John’s students who are registered majors or minors in Theology and Religious Studies are invited to join St. John's chapter of Theta Alpha Kappa (TAK), the national honor society in theology and religious studies.  St. John’s Alpha Alpha chapter of TAK is one of the oldest TAK chapters in the country.

Specific requirements for chapter membership, set by the national society, are as follows:

  1. For undergrads: 3 completed semesters in residence here at St. John’s; for grads: ½ of their residency requirement;  (note: if you were a theology major as an undergraduate and are now a graduate student at SJU, then semesters in residence at other institutions would count toward this requirement)
     
  2. a minimum of 12 credits earned in theology and religious studies;
     
  3. cumulative GPAs of 3.5 in theology/religious studies AND 3.0 overall;
     
  4. Class rank in the upper 35%.

To find out more, visit the national TAK Web site or contact St. John’s TAK Co-Moderators Christopher Denny or Habibeh Rahim.  If you are eligible, you can enroll in TAK directly through the web site after receiving authorization and a chapter code.
