When asked about the chapter's choice to support Special Olympics,
she responded: "Each year, Phi Theta Kappa assigns an 'Honors in
Action' study topic. This year's study topic was 'The Culture of

Olympics in their endeavors to provide athletic competitions to
children and adults with disabilities."
