Phi Theta Kappa is the international, academic honor society for two-year colleges. "International" is the key word to keep in mind when thinking of Phi Theta Kappa. There are chapters not only across the United States, but in other countries such as Germany and Japan as well. Phi Theta Kappa chapters strive for and emphasize the four hallmarks, which include: scholarship, leadership, fellowship, and service. Local chapters compete both regionally and internationally in an effort to reach the prestigious five-star recognition, which is the ultimate in chapter recognition.
Each year the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, in an effort to create a unifying bond between chapters, chooses an overall theme that involves the four hallmarks. The 2006-08 International Service Program – A Partnership with Keep American Beautiful, Inc., is "Operation Green: Improving our Communities,” and the 2006-08 Honors Study Topic is "Gold, Gods, and Glory: The Global Dynamics of Power."
Mission
"The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa shall be to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa shall provide opportunity for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence."

What is Alpha Gamma Nu planning?

Currently, members of Alpha Gamma Nu are setting goals to achieve a five-star rating.  Fundraisers are continually being planned to raise money for local charities, such as the American Cancer Society, as well as to enable the chapter to send representatives to regional and international conventions, and to work toward the completion of the Phi Theta Kappa Endowed Scholarship Fund at TC3.
