Phi Theta Kappa's International Convention Chapter Awards

The Phi Theta Kappa chapter officers and advisors attended Phi Theta Kappa’s Virtual International convention this weekend. I am so please to share the news below with you.

Phi Theta Kappa has over 1200 chapters in the world. The awards below are awarded to chapters who excel in chapter activity in their local and regional community. The officers have to write Hallmark Essays that reflect their accomplishments. The essays are scored by PTK Headquarters staff using rubrics. The students gain valuable research, teamwork, goalsetting, and writing skills.

Distinguished Honors In Action Awards – 50 Chapters received this award

Honors in Action Projects incorporate academic research and analysis, action (service or advocacy), collaboration, and impact. Each project is based on a theme from the 2020/2021 Honors Study Topic, To the Seventh Generation: Inheritance and Legacy.

Bridging the Digital Divide

 

Distinguished Chapter Award - 27 chapters received this award.

To be considered for a Distinguished Chapter Award, a chapter must submit entries for both the Honors in Action Project and College Project Award. Selection of the Distinguished Chapters is based solely on the written entries for these Hallmark Awards. The scores in each of the two Hallmark categories are equally weighted to determine a chapter’s overall ranking. Awards are presented to the top 10 percent of chapters entering the Honors in Action and College Project categories.

 

Top 100 chapters. Each chapter's ranking is solely based on its equally-weighted Honors in Action and College Project scores.
