Alpha Theta Phi Chapter - Phi Theta Kappa - LaGuardia Community College

by Sanjib Lamichhane When I volunteered in Induction Ceremony of Alpha Theta Phi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) at LaGuardia Community College, I was glad to see how highly motivated scholars and co-operative mentors were working to make the event successful. I was less updated about the organization’s events; however, I have always wanted to be a member of the Honor Society. Because I did no t know how it works, I was reluctant to get into it.
