I, surprisingly, have been invited to join other Phi Theta Kappans in the organization. Approximately 100 students from De Anza are invited, so I feel pretty special. I've been to two meetings so far, and the people are very sociable, our Faculty Advisor is a comical little man. He has salt and pepper hair with glasses, a kind smile, and a middle-aged figure somewhere between skinny and pudgy. He sends emails A LOT. I did not catch the President of our organization's name, but he speaks loudly, with a Russian accent. He has no trouble quieting a room. Wide eyes and a helpful tone, he makes a good President, as far as I can see. The Vice President (or who I think is the Vice President) is also a great speaker who knows how to get a laugh from a group of people. I'd say he's of middle-eastern descent, judging by his hooked nose and jet black hair. He's also very polite and an exceptional leader.
Since those three speak the most, I haven't actually learned the names of the other officers in the club, which I probably should. Walking into the same classroom every other Friday and seeing the same faces, smiling at them awkwardly since I remember their faces, but no name is recalled along with it. There is an Induction Ceremony, which I am excited about. Being a part of this organization, I receive a certificate when I graduate and I get to wear that thing when I graduate... What's it called? Not a lei... the scarf-like thing? Ugh I'm bad with words. Anyways, I am able to graduate with honors, which not many others can say :) My mother was also a PTK member, so we're sorors, I guess. Chip off the ol' family block.
