    COOL, Phi Kappa Phi

     

    Get informed that an invitation letter of membership and attending the honor society Phi Kappa Phi ceremony was sent out to me. Pretty cool. The ceremony will be held in April 9th. Who wanna be my guests(hopefully i get allowed to bring)? xi xi xi

    Phi Kappa Phi was established as an honor society in 1897. The local chapter was formed in 1965. There are nearly 300 chapters in North America and the Philippines . The society's purpose is to promote the pursuit of excellence in all fields of higher education and to recognize outstanding achievement by students, faculty, and others through election to membership and through various awards for distinguished achievement. The letters stand for the Greek Philosophia Kratei Phôtôn , Let the Love of Learning Rule Humanity.

    Membership is limited to the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students and the top 7.5 percent of juniors. Minimal criteria are satisfactory progress toward a degree and the following: for second semester juniors, 75 units with a 3.75 GPA (overall and at SDSU); for seniors, 90 units with a 3.65 GPA (overall and at SDSU); for graduate students, 15 graduate units at SDSU with a 3.90 GPA. Invitations to membership are extended in early spring.

    The chapter annually provides upwards of $3,000 in stipends for graduate or professional study, and graduating seniors are eligible for one of 50 $5,000 national fellowships or 50 $2,000 fellowships.

    The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi offers numerous benefits to members throughout their academic and professional lives. Our global focus on resources allows our members to connect and network with one another from every corner of the world. Some benefits include grants for service projects, Phi Kappa Phi Forum magazine and Honor Cord e-zine, Web-based seminars, the Career Connection Center for résumés and job searches, and discounts on professional and academic products and services.

    Happy Chinese New Year!

    格格先给大家拜年啦...........三十儿那天,有乖乖的打电话回家,听奶奶爷爷的声音都满精神的,我也立刻振奋了许多。和姥姥也通了话,好久了哦,是不敢打阿,怕会因为太想而哭。听着那熟悉的山西口音,然后每句话必由“娘儿孩,娘儿孩“来开场.......我就不行了。
    忘了又是哪天了,接了老爸的电话,受了受远程教育。琢磨了一下,肯定了老爸对我“俗化”的批评,决定敞开心胸接受思想改造.........................
    感谢朋友的邀约和学校的福利,上周六去downtown听了symphony,很高兴的说。竟有回天津的感觉,猛然想起八一礼堂和音乐厅,诡异!记得从小到大,每年节日都被老爸硬塞了票,托去听,然后总是搞得一头雾水,异常压抑;如今竟也听得津津有味起来,into的程度惊的我都冒汗。不过不得不说听众的素质真得很好,我一向相信环境对人的带动和感染力.....
    昨天和小b通了话,得知猪猪们一切都安好,很开心,而格格最近也要小辛苦一下了,有个report周四交,这几天通宵达旦应该免不了了,至于会不会起痘已经管不了那末多了,只希望嘴角发炎的地方不要再反复了(也借此怒斥一下student health service center,约了几次都约不上,我可是一大早就跑来了)..........从今天开始,要每天坚持喝凉茶.............嗯嗯,保佑快快好...
