PTK Chapter Activities

Better World Books

This organization is a self-supporting social venture that seeks to fund local and worldwide literacy initiatives by running book drives on college campuses. They send books to students in Africa, support scholarships for young women in Southeast Asia, or send books to literacy centers and libraries affected by Hurricane Katrina. Our chapter will receive $.50 for each book that meets the criteria for a "qualifying book." A qualifying book can be any college textbook with a publication date no older than 5 years. This project is already in place at our campus bookstore. All faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to place their no-value books in the large green and white "Book Drive" box located outside the campus bookstore after each buy-back period. Phi Theta Kappa members will box the books and label them for shipment at the end of each semester.

Million Penny Pledge

We will be taking cash donations for the Million Penny Pledge at each of the monthly PTK meetings. The money raised will be given to The American Cancer Society.

Cookie Dough

We are selling 3 pound tubs of frozen cookie dough again this year. Each tub will make 96 delicious 1/2 oz. cookies! The dough can be frozen for up to one year, or refrigerated for up to two weeks. The flavors should be the same as last year - Chocolate Chunk, Peanut Butter, Snickerdoodle, Oatmeal Raisin and Sugar Cookie. More info to come.

For more information when the time comes, contact Cherie Barth.
