\u201cLet the love of learning rule humanity\u201d may sound like the catchphrase of the next biggest superhero league. That is, if you are willing to see the extraordinary in ordinary people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That phrase is the mission of the University of Guam\u2019s first chapter of The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UOG\u2019s chapter of Phi Kappa Phi was established earlier in March of this year. UOG\u2019s chapter is the third chapter personally established by UOG\u2019s 11th<\/sup> President, Dr. Thomas Krise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization focuses on provided funds for its student members. A large part of the chapter\u2019s work is geared towards fundraising for scholarships and research surrounding academic achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The society faced the challenge of working around quarantine policies the moment it was established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were born in the pandemic \u2013 and we didn\u2019t really have any other options,\u201d said Troy McVey, Ed.D., the chapter\u2019s president and UOG\u2019s vice provost for Academic Excellence, Graduate Studies & Online Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conditions pushed members to put a great amount of thought and planning into how the program would manage virtually. Although their zoom meetings are not frequent, members still take time out of their days to discuss and organize events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The membership installation ceremony was the society\u2019s first event which took place during Pandemic Condition of Readiness 3 and was adjusted to follow social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it strayed from the usual induction ceremony that participants were familiar with, the unique experience was a memorable moment for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The society then moved onto their next event that took place from September to October of the fall 2020 term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their Fall Service Literacy Project, 30 t0 40 members read local-based legends, poetry, and non-fiction stories, which were posted as videos on the Phi Kappa Phi Instagram and Facebook pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The videos were distributed to schools and left available as content for students to discuss and review. Guam\u2019s KPRG public radio station also aired the stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the 2021 spring semester, the program intends to sponsor academic conversations, such as the School of Business & Public Administration Dean Series and the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Colloquium series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phi Kappa Phi does plan activities that benefit certain programs, but it is not disciplinary-specific. Instead of restricting to certain majors, the society welcomes any student who meets the required academic standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juniors, seniors, and graduates who have completed 18 credits are eligible to apply. Undergraduate juniors must be in the top 7.5 percent of their academic major, while seniors and graduate students must be in the top 10 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
