Phi
Theta Kappa is one of the most respected organizations on campus. This
honor society for the two-year college is right in the RVCC campus in
the Student Activities Office. Phi Theta Kappa members are noted for their
pride and adherence to the four hallmarks of scholarship, leadership,
service and fellowship. This prestigious organization rewards excellence
by offering scholarships and the opportunity to shape the college and
the community.
Service
with Alpha Epsilon Pi can make a huge difference and may be the determining
factor when being accepted into a university or for receiving a scholarship.
In fact, hundreds of colleges and universities offer up to full scholarships
just for being a Phi Theta Kappa member. Awards to active members and
volunteers such as our Monthly Member of Excellence award, Volunteer of
the Month, Honor Student Hall of Fame and our Five Star Member Award are
given throughout the year and are noted on transcripts at the end of the
semester.
Phi Theta Kappa will be holding many events for the community and will
fellowship with other clubs and community organizations. This year Phi
Theta Kappa’s Honor Study Topic is “Popular Culture, Shaping
and Reflecting Our Lives.” Popular culture related events will begin
this year and follow into spring 2006 Semester. Email Phi Theta Kappa
to receive a list of events.
To
be eligible to be in the Honor Society a student must receive a cumulative
GPA of 3.5 and they must have at least 12 credits. If a student does not
fit this category, he/she can be a Phi Theta Kappa volunteer whom will
still be recognized throughout the campus and whom will be eligible for
one of our many non-member awards.
Fall
2004 inductions are on Nov. 11, 2004. Orientation dates are on Oct. 7th
- 13th at 12:00pm and at 7:30pm in the atrium, where applications can
