It is up to you, how much you gain from this society, and its experiences. "And that's what I want all of you to realize as you sit here today. Phi Theta Kappa was the key that allowed me to unlock the door that has led me to my current and future success," said Shannon-Mohammed. The secret is knowing what to do with those tools, and figuring out how the pieces fit together in order to achieve one's goals. "My time with Phi Theta Kappa culminated with an aha moment, in which I realized that each and every one of us, rather than a select few, are born with the tools to help us succeed. All of these activities and experiences are derived from Phi Theta Kappa's hallmarks of Scholarship, Leadership, Fellowship, and Service. I served in leadership roles for the chapter, and I challenged myself by participating in the regional debate and international prepared speech competition. I was able to attend regional and international conventions and shared my experience and knowledge with others. I participated in the Honors Case Study Challenge, completed a college project, and took part in many other activities that took dedication, time, and effort. "I became more involved on campus and in the community, and was brought together with others who inspired and supported me. "Phi Theta Kappa helped me refine my own toolbox through leadership development courses like competitive edge, and research-based projects like Honors in Action which taught me to collaborate with others," she said. Shannon-Mohammed said that being a part of Phi Theta Kappa was a challenge for her at first, but a great challenge because it forced her out of her comfort zone.
She also became a member of the Golden Key Honor Society and Sigma Alpha Lambda Honor Society. A student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she was the only undergraduate selected to speak at the Women's Initiative Conference presenting research about social adversity on campus, chosen to serve on the Carolina Women's Center Advisory Board, serves as a Transfer Student Ambassador, elected president of Sigma Alpha Pi (The National Honor Society of Leadership and Success), and chosen as a presenter at the celebration of undergraduate research which takes place on April 27.
Sarah Shannon-Mohammed, Phi Theta Kappa Alumna, was the speaker for the event held at the Dennis A. The CCCC chapter sets a higher standard for membership eligibility than the national organization: a 3.7 grade point average rather than the 3.5 GPA that national requires. In 1929, the American Association of Community Colleges recognized PTK as the official honor society for two-year colleges. Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education with more than two million members and 1,200 chapters. SANFORD - Academic achievement and service were celebrated March 28 as Central Carolina Community College's Beta Sigma Phi Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society held its spring induction ceremony.
