TAKPurpose

The purpose of Theta Alpha Kappa is to bring students, teachers, and writers of Religious Studies and Theology together both intellectually and socially:

  • To encourage excellence in research, learning, teaching and publication and to foster the exchange of thought among scholars;
  • To promote friendship among its members;
  • To inculcate in them a high degree of loyalty to each other;
  • To hold meetings and social gatherings for the better realization of such purposes.

The national constitution of the Society includes each of these aims in its self-identity.

Eligibility

The national constitution of Theta Alpha Kappa sets out the conditions for membership. For nomination to TAK, a candidate must: 

  • Complete a minimum of two (2) semesters at the institution where the inducting chapter is located; 
  • Complete a minimum of 12 credits in Religious Studies or Theology; 
  • Carry a grade average of at least 3.5 or B+ in Religious Studies or Theology and a have an overall grade point average of at least 3.0 (or B)
  • Have standing in the upper 35% of his or her class in scholarship.

These requirements are not easily satisfied.

Major Activities

Most of TAK’s activities are carried on by its local chapters, but TAK’s national Board of Directors sponsors a number of programs and prizes—especially in relation to its journal, the Journal of Theta Alpha Kappa; the Graduate Fellowship Award; the Kathleen Connolly-Weinert Leader of the Year award, and the Undergraduate Achievement Award. TAK also sponsors an Annual Meeting open to all members.
