Phi Theta Kappa - Alumni

Alumni

In recent years, Alumni Associations have become an integral part of the growth of Phi Theta Kappa. Although the oldest of the Society's Alumni Associations are college-based associations affiliated with existing chapters, the last years of the twentieth century saw the evolution of Regional Alumni Associations as a vehicle by which to increase alumni participation and support. Among these is Zeta of New York, the New York Region Alumni Association, which offers membership to Phi Theta Kappa Alumni residing in New York or who are alumni of a New York chapter. Chartered in 1996 under the Leadership of Founding President Paul "P.J." Cataline, Christopher Strang, and Rebecca Chapin-Catlin, Zeta of New York, like other regional associations, has used the larger platform of the Regional Association to expand membership, increase programming, and provide broaden its support of the New York Region and the Society. Since 1996, Zeta of New York has grown from 10 members to nearly 1,000 members. The Association provides substantial annual scholarships for college students and assists the Region in providing an Annual Convention, Honor's Study Weekend, and Leadership Retreats each year.
