Monmouth Beta-Phi Chapter of Phi
Alpha Theta was organized
in 1948.
It was the successor of Professor Lynn Turner's highly successful Zeta
Kappa Epsilon local history honorary society (Prof. Turner went on to become
president of Phi Alpha Theta and to have the honorary society's most important
award named for him. His presidential address was entitled
Gullible's Travails in
Academicia).

1970's.
Requirements for membership
An
undergraduate student must have completed at least twelve semester hours in
history courses, with grades averaging above a B; and a B or better in at
least two-thirds of the remainder of the classes.
Meetings are usually held on Sunday
afternoons, always with refreshments and often with a short talk by faculty or
students.
