Anoka-Ramsey Community College’s Coon
Rapids chapter of Phi Theta Kappa — Alpha
Delta Alpha — earned the recognition of
Distinguished Chapter at the organization’s
International Convention in Anaheim, Calif.,
April 3-5, 2003. This ranks Alpha Delta Alpha
as one of the 20 best chapters out of 1,200.
The Chapter was also recognized as one of the
top ten chapters in the hallmark of Fellowship
and one of the top 25 chapters in the hallmark
of Service. In addition, Priscilla Tempke, an
Anoka-Ramsey Community College student, was
recognized as one of 25 Distinguished Members,
and the chapter received one of 30 advisor awards.
Phi Theta Kappa, the International Honor Society
of Two-Year Colleges, is the largest honor society
of higher education with over 1,200 chapters
in the United States, Canada, Japan and Germany.
It recognizes and rewards students for academic
excellence. It also promotes the values of Scholarship,
Leadership, Service and Fellowship among its
members. Alpha Delta Alpha was recognized for
developing programs and activities in these
areas that affect students and the community
that Anoka-Ramsey Community College serves.
In February, Alpha Delta Alpha was recognized
as the Most Distinguished Chapter in their region,
which covers the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and the Dakotas.
Said Gordy Wax, one of the chapter advisors,
“We are very proud, not only of what our
chapter members have done for other students,
the college and community, but for how they
have grown personally through their involvement
and how they have developed into community leaders.”
