Butler Phi Theta Kappa Inducts 55 New Members
Butler PTK chapter continues to grow in membership.
El Dorado, Kansas – On Sunday, October 27 Butler Community College’s five-star chapter inducted 55 new members to the honor society Phi Theta Kappa (PTK).
In order to become a member, students must acquire a minimum 3.5 GPA from at least 12 credit hours of 100-level classes or higher. After those requirements are met, students must be personally invited to become a member.
Members of PTK primarily focus on community work and collaboration. To start the semester off strong, PTK has already conducted a promotional mental health awareness week as community work for Butler students. In this week, they took an opportunity to provide publicity, resources, and thought-provoking details in regards to mental health issues. They also found opportunities to collaborate with Butler’s Student Government Association and College Health. PTK will exhibit more community service like this throughout the upcoming year.
Throughout the year, members research and construct projects to present at international competitions
Co-advisor of Butler’s PTK, Chrissy Baker, states, “it’s not all about the project, it’s also about the process.”
Described as a well-diversified family-oriented group of individuals, PTK grants multiple opportunities for members and for whomever the members serve.
PTK upholds four hallmarks to abide by which include scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship.
Baker takes delight in saying the following words, “Students join for the scholarship, but they stay for the fellowship.”
Since 1918, PTK has been honoring academic excellence and providing scholarships among colleges internationally.
