For the three chapter award categories, should activities for the secondary focus of each Hallmark be derived from Phi Theta Kappa programs?
Maybe. The secondary focus of each Hallmark emphasizes civic engagement by encouraging chapters to address campus, community and regional needs. In some cases, Phi Theta Kappa programs such as Project Graduation or Voice Your Vote may offer resources for chapters in these areas of need. However, this is not always the case. At times a chapter may choose to start a new program or get involved with a scholarship, service or leadership opportunity best addressed by a non-Phi Theta Kappa program. Such activities are acceptable for inclusion in the secondary focus of each Hallmark.
