Accolades
Alumni
The Circle of Excellence Platinum honor is given to chapters who scored a perfect 100 on a criteria scale that evaluates chapter health indicators.
By receiving the Platinum distinction, the Pittsburg State chapter is recognized as a thriving organization that holds annual initiations, upholds the Society bylaws, regularly attends chapter training opportunities, and submits a chapter-endorsed nominee to the Phi Kappa Phi Fellowship Program.
"We are elated to have been awarded such a prestigious honor and distinction on behalf of our chapter at Pittsburg State University,” said chapter president Kristen Livingston. “We have a team of dedicated officers who make our chapter as great as it is. We will continue to expand our impact and hopefully inspire others with our dedication to Phi Kappa Phi.”
Chapters achieving the Circle of Excellence Platinum distinction receive a special recognition on the Phi Kappa Phi website, a commendation letter, and a $300 cash award.
