Pinnacle Program Rewards Successful Membership Recruitment

Calling all chapters: Revitalize your chapter through enhanced recruiting, and be recognized for your efforts with awards and even scholarships, through participation in the Pinnacle Scholarship Award Program!

The Pinnacle Scholarship Award Program recognizes Phi Theta Kappa chapters and regions for successfully enhancing their recruitment and orientation strategies, as measured by the number of new members reported to Headquarters in a given year. The program promotes increased awareness of Phi Theta Kappa and is designed to ensure that the benefits of Society membership are fully understood by all eligible students.

Chapters may enroll in The Pinnacle Scholarship Award Program online at www.ptk.org/pinnacle/chapennform.htm.

Now in its third year, the Pinnacle Program has added new levels of recognition.

Pinnacle recognitions include:

• Pinnacle Chapter - A chapter increasing the number of members reported to Headquarters by at least one student over the previous year will be recognized as a Pinnacle Chapter.

• Pinnacle Scholarship Chapter - A chapter increasing the number of inductees over 10 percent of last year or inducting 90 percent of all eligible students will be recognized as a Pinnacle Scholarship Chapter.

• Pinnacle Continued Excellence Chapter - A chapter that has achieved an increase in membership of 10 percent or inducted 90 percent of eligible students for three consecutive years in a row will be recognized as a Pinnacle Continued Excellence Chapter.
