Role of the Officers

Our Alpha Epsilon Phi chapter consists of members, four Vic-Presidents, one President, and typically two Advsiors. The members are the foundation of the Society; the Vice-Presidents are the essential Leaders for all aspects of the Chapter itself. The Presidentis the overseer of the Vice-Presidents, and responsible for communication with Advisors and other Chapters alike. The Advisors are responsible for interaction between Phi Theta Kappa Headquarters and our chapter, and any applicable legality that needs a helping hand.

The way Phi Theta Kappa works is simple: our Headquarters informs the respective regional Officers of Phi Theta Kappa Chapters about the Honor Topics that should be addressed in the year of our term. Headquarters also explains what areas need attention, i.e.: Beautification of America, Cleaner Environment, etc. This year we have a new topic and focus of attention!

The next step is planning how to incorporate these guidelines into successful service opportunities to help our local communities,consequently making a difference in our region,and changing lives and improving the environment throughout the world!
