-
The Alpha Omicron Eta chapter of Phi Theta Kappa honor society at Southern State Community College received special commendation during the Ohio Region Regional Convention for fulfilling all requirements to be named a “Three-Star Chapter.” The chapter also was recognized at the society’s recent annual convention and will be cited on the society’s web site at www.ptk.org.
The Five-Star Chapter Development Plan serves as a blueprint for developing a strong chapter, improves student engagement on campus, and recognizes progress in the attainment of goals set by the chapter. Using the Five-Star Plan as a guide, chapters enhance their strategies to recognize eligible students, provide significant personal and professional development opportunities for members through Honors in Action, and build a working relationship with the college administration by becoming active on campus and in the community. As chapters reach these milestones, they progress through each level of the Five-Star Plan, ultimately reaching the pinnacle Five-Star Level.
Founded in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa honors academic achievement in two-year colleges. To be considered for membership, a student needs to maintain a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average carrying at least 24 credit hours. The local chapter, Alpha Omicron Eta, is one of nearly 1,000 chapters in two-year colleges around the world. Membership in Phi Theta Kappa—like its parallel for four-year colleges, Phi Beta Kappa— increases scholarship opportunities, job opportunities and acceptance in university and college programs.
