Mu Alpha Theta, the National High School and Two-Year College Mathematics Honor Society, was formed in 1957 at the University of Oklahoma. We are dedicated to inspiring a keen interest in mathematics, developing strong scholarship in the subject, and promoting the enjoyment of mathematics in high school and two-year college students. Currently, more than 100,000 students are Mu Alpha Theta members at more than 2,420 schools in the United States and in 23 foreign countries.

How to Join

The Royal High School Chapter follows the minimum national requirements for individual membership in a local chapter. These are the minimum requirements: chapters may elect to have stricter standards but not lower ones. Students are encouraged to participate in Mu Alpha Theta club meetings and activities, even if they do not qualify as members:

Members must be high school students in grades 9 through 12.

Members must be registered with Mu Alpha Theta at the school at which their permanent records reside.

Members must have completed the equivalent of two years of college preparatory mathematics, including algebra and/or geometry, and have completed or are enrolled in a third year of college preparatory mathematics.

On the 4-point grading scale, members must have at least a 3.0 math grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
