Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society Recognizes York Tech Chapter

March 28, 2007

ROCK HILL—Phi Theta Kappa, the national honor society for junior and community colleges, recently recognized the York Technical College chapter, Alpha Alpha Iota, for meeting Level 5 in its Five-Star Program.

The Five-Star Program of Phi Theta Kappa International is designed to strengthen chapters and to help the chapters earn local, regional, and international recognition through setting goals and meeting them. The Five-Star program includes five levels, from Level 1 which focuses on just the basic elements of running a chapter to Level 5 which mandates that chapters must not only participate but must also compete in Phi Theta Kappa programming.

Meeting Level 5 in the Five-Star Program means that the York Tech chapter has reached a peak of excellence by meeting higher standards of quality programming. To earn this distinction, Alpha Alpha Iota participated in the International Honors Study Topic and the International Service Project and competed with other chapters for Hallmark awards in scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship.
