Phi Theta Kappa
Phi Theta Kappa
The Phi Theta Kappa Fraternity is a nationally recognized honorary scholastic organization whose objective is to promote scholarship,
develop character, and cultivate fellowship among students in community colleges of the United States. Kaskaskia College's chapter,
Iota Omicron, helps students practice leadership skills and provide service opportunities to Kaskaskia College and Phi Theta Kappa
sponsored projects. Students are invited to membership after completing at least 12 hours of coursework over two semesters and earning
a GPA of at least 3.50.

Honors Study Topic
The Honors Study Topic brings important, current issues to the forefront and encourages Phi Beta Kappans to examine how these issues
affect their lives. The topic, selected biennially by the Honors Committee, is utilized and explored through programs such as:
- The annual International Honors Institute
- The Honors Satellite Seminar Series
- The Honors Case Study Challenge
The Honors Study Topic Program Guide is an invaluable tool for Honors Study Topic explorations.
Since the concept of using the Honors Study Topic for campus forums began in 1968, the topic has been selected to meet the needs of our
two-year institutions and their diverse communities. It is always timely, international in scope, issue-oriented, appropriate for
interdisciplinary study, and amenable to study on even small college campuses with limited library and research facilities.
The Phi Theta Kappa 2008-20010 Honors Study Topic is "The Paradox of Affluence: choices, challenges, and consequences." This topic will be used with
our chapter, Iota Omicron, as we plan our year's events. For more information, go to
