"This past February, for the first time, our chapter wrote essays for both leadership and service," said Jean Mach, Beta Xi Eta adviser. "They are both very content heavy."
Though the essay was a collaborative effort on behalf of the group, the main author was Jena Losche, a member of the local chapter.
Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society with more than 2 million members and 1,200 chapters. It exists within the two year community college system and is the eldest of the honors societies.
In the year of 2005, the Beta Xi Eta chapter was chartered campus. This chapter was driven by the students. Alongside select faculty advisers, the students were its leading activists.
Within this chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, there are four hallmarks that they are constantly striving to achieve. scholarship, leadership, fellowship, and service.
As of this year, Beta Xi Eta has slowly grown within the community. Here on campus, they have made themselves available to students and faculty in hopes of becoming more active in the college community compared to the past years of the societies existence.
The honors society continues to work its way up the ladder striving to become a more prevalent organization in the college community in the near future.
