If you are not currently a member of PAT, please consider joining our organization! Membership in this national honor society looks great on a resume and affords you access to scholarships, awards, and publication opportunities. Your one-time application and payment grants you a lifetime membership with the organization!

In light of the many difficulties facing students this year, Cal State LA's chapter of PAT will be offering sponsored memberships to students who require support for the $50 membership fee. Utilizing the revenue gained from the 2020 issue of Perspectives and the contributions of alumni, we hope to provide memberships to those Cal State LA students who might otherwise pass on the opportunity to become a part of our organization.

Whether you would like to utilize a sponsorship or not, applying for membership is a simple two step process:

All applicants must first submit a filled-out PAT Membership Application Form to Dr. Pfleger at bpflege@calstatela.edu to have your credits and GPA checked against membership requirements (at least 12 credits in History for BA students or 6 credits for MA students, a 3.1 or higher GPA in History, and a 3.0 or higher overall GPA).
Contact the organization's leadership at pat.csula@gmail.com to establish your payment method for the one-time $50 membership fee. Please communicate if you would like to request a sponsorship, or if you are comfortable paying for your membership which of the payment options below you would like to use. You will receive directions for how to proceed with the payment process via email response.
- Send a check to Phi Alpha Theta, Eta Xi (the preferred method)
- Venmo/Pay Pal money transfer
- Payment through PAT national's website
