To publicize the nature of the Society and the requirements for
membership, Chapters can reference the Society in all printed material
(newsletter or newspaper) and post information on institutional Web
sites. Alpha Beta Kappa will also promote all participating Chapters
nationally.
Display your Chapter
Each
Chapter received its own Charter. This Charter should be proudly
displayed in a location for all visitors and current students to view.
The original Charter which was issued to the administration, faculty,
staff and students included the name of the institution, date the
Charter was officially issued and the Greek name of the Chapter. To
replace your Charter or request a newly framed Charter, please contact
us at the email address below.
Alpha Beta Kappa Selection
Committee (Not Applicable to all Chapters)
To choose
potential candidates to be honored, some Chapters form an Alpha Beta
Kappa Selection Committee. This committee could be composed of the
president or director, chapter president, two or three student
representatives or soon to be inductees, a faculty leader, one or two
alumni members, and if possible, a few state or local officials.
The
ABK Selection Committee can be instrumental in helping to promote your
Chapter. Committee members can circulate promotional material, meet with
potential candidates, and attend major events.
Ceremonies
and Special Events
At some Chapters, a special event or
ceremony is scheduled to recognize each Alpha Beta Kappa Honor Graduate.
During this ceremony, a representative (president, director, dean,
director of education) reads a short narrative describing Alpha Beta
Kappa and the qualifications for membership. Some Chapters also invite
employers or alumni members to participate. Each honor graduate receives
the Alpha Beta Kappa Gold Key and Membership Certificate at this time.
Visual
Displays
To consistently promote ABK Honors and honor
graduates, many Chapters establish a visual display in a place of
prominence within the institution. This display could include the
following items*:
- ABK Original Charter
- ABK Outstanding Inductees (2 or 3 Student Profiles)
- ABK Sample Certificates
- ABK Crest Image
- ABK Gold Key Image
- ABK Overview
- ABK Qualifications for Membership (as established by your
institution)
- Photographs as taken during Special Ceremonies
These items should also be posted to your institutional Web site and
could include application material if desired. *To request any of the
items as listed above, please contact us at the email address below.
