[March 22, 2013]  The Iota Chi Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society at Lincoln College recently inducted 38 new members and one new honorary member into the chapter.

Phi Theta Kappa is a junior college academic honor society. To be eligible for membership, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and have earned a minimum of 15 credits at Lincoln College.

The chapter activities have included a voter registration drive and sending books to soldiers and veterans.
