Mar 28, 2022 12:00 AM

The FSU chapter of Phi Kappa Phi was recently recognized as a Circle of Excellence Gold Chapter by the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi – the nation’s oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines. The award recognizes chapters for their work in promoting excellence on campus and engaging the community of scholars each year.

In addition, the FSU Phi Kappa Phi chapter was selected as the 2021 Fall Service Project Division IV winner for their Spirit Night fundraiser at the LaVale Chick-fil- A to benefit the FSU Children’s Literature Centre. Nearly 150 people participated, raising $205 from more than $1,000 in sales. The money was used by CLC to help fund its annual Storybook Holiday celebration held in December. The additional $200 in prize money was also donated back to the CLC to help fund their summer Pirates Ahoy event.

The Circle of Excellence Gold honor is given to chapters that scored 95 to 99 percent on a criteria scale that evaluates chapter health indicators.

Current FSU chapter officers are all CLAS faculty and staff. Linda Steele and Cindy Herzog from the CLAS Dean’s Office serve as President and Secretary, respectively. James Saku (Geography) serves as Vice President and Matthew Crawford (Chemistry) is Treasurer. Psychology graduate student Syully Koroh serves as Student Vice President.
