Kansas Chapter Shares Strategy for Earning Pinnacle Gold

A provisional membership program has helped the Phi Theta Kappa chapter at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas reach Pinnacle Gold status! Advisor Linda McFate said the program allows participants in Coffeyville's Honors and Presidential Scholars programs to become provisional Phi Theta Kappa members during their first collegiate semester. This experience makes them eager to accept their invitation to full membership, she said. The chapter hosts a provisional members' breakfast with administrators and a dinner for prospective members and utilizes a phone tree. Members meet with eligible students to answer questions. Chapter officers and advisors also speak during Freshman Orientation. This year chapter leaders plan to host a "lock-in" for current members and prospective members. Four levels of recognition are available to chapters that enroll in the Pinnacle Scholarship Award Program and successfully improve their membership acceptance.
