Beta Delta Iota Chapter

Phi Theta Kappa is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious honor society in the world for two-year colleges. Membership is based on superior academic achievement, and is conferred only by local chapter invitation. In addition to an abundance of scholarship opportunities, Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities for its members to develop critical leadership skills such as problem solving, project planning, team building, effective
communication, and conflict resolution.

The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize and encourage scholarship among two-year college students. To achieve this purpose, Phi Theta Kappa provides opportunities for the development of leadership and service, for an intellectual climate for exchange of ideas and ideals, for lively fellowship for scholars, and for stimulation of interest in continuing academic excellence.

Phi Theta Kappa's mission is two-fold: 1) It recognizes and encourages the academic achievement of two-year college students and (2) It provides opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming.

Beta Delta Iota is the Lone Star College-Montgomery chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. Founded in 1996, Beta Delta Iota membership currently includes 920 students, including seven chapter officers. In 2018, the chapter was awarded 5-Star status, the highest status available to individual chapters. In addition to 5-Star recognition, the chapter was also recognized as a Texas Top Chapter. Texas Region Chapter awards in 2018 include Texas College Project Award of Merit, Texas Honors Project Award of Merit and a Texas Region Hall of Honor Award for officer Paris Jorden. International Phi Theta Kappa awards include Top 100 chapter, Distinguished Chapter and Distinguished Honors in Action Project.

As the chapter continues to develop, we invite members to become actively involved with chapter activities and take advantage of the various leadership, scholarship, service, and fellowship opportunities that are available through active Phi Theta Kappa membership.
