About Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa is an international Honor society spanning all 50 states of the US, as well as Guam, Puerto Rico, Germany, American Samoa, Japan, and Canada. To encompass this, the society was divided into 4 Divisions:

* Division 1 covers from Maine to Virginia and from Germany to Ohio.
* Division 2 covers from Kentucky to Florida and from Georgia to Texas.
* Division 3 covers from North Dakota to Arkansas and from Minnesota to Oklahoma.
* Division 4 covers from Alaska to New Mexico and from Nebraska to Japan.

Each Division is further subdivided into regions, based on community college population. The New York Region, which Alpha Theta Phi resides in, is part of Division 1.
The core unit of Phi Theta Kappa is the Chapter, which is based out of each Community College. Chapters are named based on the Greek alphabet in numerical order. LaGuardia Community College's chapter name is Alpha Theta Phi. Officers of Phi Theta Kappa Officer Positions are elected at chapter, Regional, and International Level. Every year, at the International Convention, an International President and four Vice Presidents (one from each Division) are elected. They serve to represent the society as ambassadors and guides, as well as provide assistance to chapters & Regions.
Regions typically have a President, a Vice President, a Financial Officer, a Recording Officer, and a Communications Officer. These positions are elected at the Spring Regional Conference. At the Chapter level, typically 8 officers are elected.
