Phi
Theta Kappa Meeting Review
Alpha
Alpha Xi Chapter – March 2nd, 2016
The meeting was called to order at 3:24 p.m.
Two members who volunteered for the leap-year
fundraiser were awarded $20 gift cards to Dave and Busters. The fundraiser was a big success, and the
chapter collected $220.50. Thanks to all
who volunteered.
Information regarding scholarships was provided. There is now a myScholarships page on the Richland College website where students
may submit scholarship applications. As
of March 1st, the Celia Riddle Millemon scholarship opened, and
Richland members may now apply. In
addition, Alpha Alpha Xi members with financial need may submit a form for
possible reimbursement of their Phi Theta Kappa membership fee. Please see Omar to obtain a form.
Be the Change, an environmental group, is organizing a
lake cleanup effort at White Rock Lake on Saturday, March 5th with For the Love of the Lake. An email was sent requesting volunteers and
more are needed. Volunteers will receive
a certificate and can obtain service hours.

Chapter officers and leaders had a wonderful time at
the Texas Regional Conference. Pictures
were shown, and two attendees spoke about what an amazing experience the conference
was for them. They encouraged other
members to become active and, given the opportunity, to try and attend a
conference with the chapter. Several chapter
members, as well as advisors Jon Ewing and Melanie Pruit, received awards at
the conference. These individuals were
recognized at the meeting and presented with their awards. Alpha Alpha Xi also received an award as a
chapter for obtaining Five Star Status.
The Phi Theta Kappa International Convention will be
held in Washington D.C. this year. All expenses,
excepting airfare, will be paid for a select number of officers and members. As space is limited, please let the officers or
advisors know as soon as possible if you would like to attend.
The meeting on March 10th is an orientation
meeting. Students who are interested in
joining Phi Theta Kappa may attend, so members may bring their friends. A fellowship event will follow the meeting. Come and relax with your fellow members with a
movie, pizza, and ice cream.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:42
