Dear [faculty/staff member],
You may know that Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in higher education today; but did you know that Phi Theta Kappa members are four times more likely to complete college than non-members?
The benefits of membership in Phi Theta Kappa are unmatched:
- the opportunity to apply for nearly $90 million in scholarships, including more than $37 million in transfer scholarships;
- the opportunity to develop leadership skills;
- the opportunity to build soft skills desired by today’s employers;
- the opportunity to engage in research projects that put skills learned in the classroom to work in real-word scenarios;
- the opportunity to network with like-minded students from around the world who value student success.
As members of the [chapter name] Chapter, we are writing to ask you to support us as we promote the benefits of membership in Phi Theta Kappa to as many students on our campus and in our community as possible. Here are some ways you can help:
- Recognize eligible members in your classroom and encourage them to accept their membership invitation.
- Allow our chapter officers to visit your classroom and personally deliver invitations to prospective members.
- If one of your students is a member, allow them to briefly share their reasons for becoming a Phi Theta Kappa member with your class.
- Keep up with important Society dates such as scholarship application periods and upcoming webinars and encourage your students to participate.
- Support our chapter as we hold on-campus service projects and fundraisers when possible.
Most of all, we ask that you educate yourself so you can in turn educate others. Our chapter requires a [XXX] GPA for membership. If you know of students making the grade, talk to them about becoming Phi Theta Kappa members.
We meet in [Room XXX] every [when or what day?]. Our advisors are [advisor name(s)]. Please, reach out to us any time you have a question. Get to know us — we have benefits and opportunities for every student at our college. Visit ptk.org to learn more about how Phi Theta Kappa is changing the stories of its members.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Members of the [XXX] Chapter
