Phi Theta Kappa at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载

What is PTK?

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is an international honor society of two-year colleges, and two-year academic programs. It's the largest honor society in American higher education with more than 1.5 million members and 1,200 chapters located in all 50 states and abroad. PTK is also one of the largest collegiate honors societies world-wide.

Phi Theta Kappa offers its members scholarship, leadership, fellowship and service opportunities. Members are acknowledged for their outstanding academic achievement at graduation as well as having their membership notated on their transcripts and diploma. For more information about membership benefits and to find out if Phi Theta Kappa is right for you, visit the Phi Theta Kappa International Web Site at www.ptk.org or contact Lynette Macfarlan at lynette.macfarlan@bianlifan.com.

Phi Theta Kappa provides an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas, ideals, opportunities for the development of leadership and service, lively fellowship of scholars, and stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.

Phi Theta Kappa is built on four pillars or hallmarks that each chapter strives to capture in each of its activities:

• Scholarship: Academic study or achievement; learning of a high level.
• Leadership: The state or position of being a leader.
• Fellowship: Friendly association, especially with people who share one's interests.
• Service: The action of helping or doing work for someone else.
