Dear Honor Student,
Congratulations on your academic success at Mendocino College! I’m writing you to introduce you to Phi Theta Kappa, the international community college honor society that is dedicated to academic achievement and community service. If you are already an inducted member of PTK at Mendocino College and would like to be active this year, please call 467-1004 and let us know. Also, please skip ahead to the next page for information about what we have planned this year!
If you have not previously been inducted at Mendocino College in the past, I’m writing to officially invite you to join our Alpha Omega Lambda Chapter. In order to be eligible you must be an enrolled student and possess a 3.4 cumulative GPA in 12 or more units of degree/certificate applicable courses. Your GPA will be determined based on grades earned during your last 4 semesters. Enclosed you will find a PTK Membership Application (click to download pdf version), along with a copy of the most recent PTK membership brochure. One-time membership dues are $65 ($15 local, $5 regional, $45 national) and include the following benefits:
