The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi — the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines — recently recognized the Texas Woman's University chapter as a Circle of Excellence Silver Chapter.
The award is given to chapters that exceed expectations in chapter operations and who demonstrate sustainability and vitality as a chapter of Phi Kappa Phi. Texas Woman’s was one of only 27 chapters to receive the Silver distinction.
The Circle of Excellence Silver honor is given to chapters who scored a 90-94 out of 100 on a criteria scale that evaluates chapter health indicators. By receiving the Silver distinction, the TWU 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.
"The Texas Woman's University Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi is honored to have been awarded the Circle of Excellence Silver Award for 2022-23. We are proud to have maintained an active chapter over the last year and have plans to engage with more of the TWU community in the future," said chapter president Diana Elrod (Biology, Denton).
Chapters achieving the Circle of Excellence Silver distinction receive:
- A commendation letter from the society sent to chapter officers and campus administration
- Special recognition on the Phi Kappa Phi website
- Specially designed logo for use in chapter communications
- A $100 cash award
