Timothy L. DavisSoutheast District Representative
Along with showing up, we have to make sure that the members posses the spirit of Phi Theta Kappa. Meaning… that the members promote the thoughts, ideas, and continuity of Phi Theta Kappa.
These areas as you all know are in Fellowship, Scholarship, Service, and Leadership. The most valuable members are not always officers or become officers, but they are the backbone of this organization. They are leaders in their own rites.
All chapters should send in a written nomination of one member of their chapters in to the DR for review and acknowledgment. These should reach the before each Regional Convention.
Anyone that is nominated has to be present for eligibility.
