On a local, regional,
and national level, members of Phi Theta Kappa have organized our immense
resources in our partnership with America's Promise. To learn more about
America's Promise, visit their website at

America's Promise recently unveiled the Report to the Nation 2001, which
outlines the nation's progress in meeting the five promises. The report includes
information on Phi Theta Kappa, and is located at
http://www.americaspromise.org/RTN/RTN.cfm.
The Honors Institute is over for 2001, and now our members are preparing to act
on what they've learned. To refresh yourself on the new study topic; Customs,
Traditions and Celebrations: The Human Drive for Community, visit the Society's
Honors Study Topic information sheet at
http://www.ptk.org/honorsprog/hp_hstg.htm - to access the program guide for
the study topic, click on the link at the bottom of the page and input your
social security number.
Trying to find your way around the region, but having a hard time? Try these
mapping services from Yahoo and Expedia:
http://maps.yahoo.com, and
http://www.expedia.com. On Yahoo, look to the middle-right of the page and
select "driving directions." For Expedia, select maps from the tab menu, then
driving directions.
If you're considering a service project that involves art, but want to freshen
up on some tutorials, check out the anime drawing page BakaNeko at
http://www.bakaneko.com. The tutorials on
the page may help you if you want to pass on the art to another.
It takes a lot of money to operate a chapter for a year, especially with two
regional and two international conventions each year, not to mention anything
your chapter might spend on service projects. The following website is a vault
of fund-raising ideas, submitted by members of a mailing list. Visit the site at
http://www.fund-raising.com/ideas.html - you might just find what you're
looking for.
These are just a few of the innumerable resources on the web. To help you locate
new information, try the popular Yahoo! service at
http://www.yahoo.com or the lesser known (but
more thorough) Google search engine at
http://www.google.com. You can find just about anything using
Google - it will even translate a web page into English for you.
