The Golden Key

Phi Theta Kappa Emblem: 
Representing a Tradition of Excellence

The Golden Key is the official emblem of the society; comprised of a golden slab, keyed at top and bottom.  The golden field represents the golden opportunities for members of the society and the black band stands for the three ideals that unite the organization:  wisdom, aspiration, and purity.  These ideals are signified by the three Greek letters, phronimon, thumos, and katharotes respectively.

Behind the band is a wreath, composed of oak leaves on one side and laurel leaves on the other.  The oak leaves represent stability and strength of character, as symbolized by the sturdy oak.  The graceful, curling leaves of the laurel signify achievement and success, all attributes for membership in our Society.

Above the band is the representation of the head of Athena, the Goddess of Learning; in the base appear the mystic Greek letters meaning light, the light of knowledge and learning, the common ideal for members of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.
