Hattiesburg – New members of Pearl River Community College’s Beta Tau Gamma chapter of Phi Theta Kappa honor society were inducted April 1, 2019, in the newly renovated multi-purpose room at the Forrest County Center.
The record-setting ceremony welcomed more than 60 of the 101 total new members to the society so far this semester. This number making it the largest induction Beta Tau Gamma has had to date. Family, friends, and PRCC employees cheered on the students as they each crossed the floor and were officially inducted.
Current PTK officers Raven Sterling; Chapter President; Sarah-Ashlynn Barber, Officer; Brandon Woods, Officer; and Joshua Worbington, Officer spoke of the numerous opportunities that are made available to those who take an active role in the organization.
“Being a Phi Theta Kappan has changed my life forever. I am overwhelmingly thankful to be a part of this,” said Sarah-Ashlyn Barber, Beta Tau Gamma Officer.
Dr. Janna Causey, Vice President for Forrest County Operations, congratulated both the students being recognized and their parents in the audience for the hard work put into supporting their students to this point.
