The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi recognizes outstanding chapters each year for their work through the Circle of Excellence Chapter Award Program. The Circle of Excellence Award Program recognizes chapters for their work in promoting excellence on the local campus and engaging the community of scholars each year.

Our chapter has achieved Circle of Excellence Platinum status for 2023-2024. This level of performance can only be achieved because of the efforts of our dedicated chapter officers and members.
