PTK at ECC in Union Inducts 57 Members this Spring


April 12, 2022 | Campus News

This spring, 57 members have been inducted into the Chi Delta Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at East Central College in Union.

The chapter held its annual Spring New Member Induction Ceremony in March, with guest speaker Amber Dietrich, the chapter president in 2019-2020.

Dietrich was a Distinguished Chapter Officer for the Missouri Region in 2020. In 2019, she was a Distinguished Chapter Member at both the Regional (state) and international levels.

There were 16 new members, with guests, who attended the induction ceremony, making the total number of attendees about 100, according to Kevin Dixon, PTK advisor of the Chi Delta Chapter.

Students must have at least a 3.4 GPA and be a full-time student for one semester to be invited into PTK. Members must then maintain an overall GPA of 3.2 once they are inducted into the honor society.

There are more students who have been invited to join but haven’t yet, Dixon said. Those students can still do so through the end of the year.

Membership is open to all majors throughout the college, including anyone working toward a degree or certificate.
