NEO Inducts 34 New Members into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society

Miami, Okla. – Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) celebrated academic excellence as the Mu Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) held its Fall 2025 Induction Ceremony, welcoming 34 new members into the prestigious international honor society for two-year college students.

The induction ceremony highlighted the accomplishments of these 34 outstanding students and underscored NEO’s continued commitment to fostering scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship.

“I congratulate our new members on their academic achievements and welcome them into our chapter,” said LaShawna Powers, PTK Mu Chapter Advisor. “PTK chapters are student-driven – they create the goals and spearhead our research and projects each year, so it’s the students who make our chapter active and engaging. I encourage new members to get involved and continue the tradition of excellence at NEO.”

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), founded in 1918, is the oldest and most respected honor society recognizing academic achievement among students at associate degree-granting colleges. Membership offers opportunities for scholarships, leadership development, professional growth, and service to both the campus and the community.

The Mu Chapter, chartered at NEO in 1926, is proud to be the second-oldest continually active chapter in the world with nearly a century of academic excellence and student leadership.
