Chapter members have many opportunities to get involved on campus and in the community. In recent years, chapter members have hosted the Illinois Region Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society June Convention, undertaken Honors in Action research projects to help the chapter earn Five Star status at the national level of Phi Theta Kappa chapter involvement, traveled to and delivered presentations at regional Phi Theta Kappa Honors Institute and Leadership Conferences, in addition to organizing and participating in a number of other activities:
- Fundraising for the Walk of Hope
- PSC Constitution Day Celebration Activities
- Pledge to College Completion Events
- Kiwanis Peanut Day Community Fundraiser
- Kiwanis French Toast Breakfast Community Fundraiser
- And much, much more!
There are many opportunities for members to serve as officers, committee chairs, or committee members. For more information about how to get involved in chapter activities, contact your Phi Theta Kappa student officers.
