What is Pi Theta?

Pi Theta is the name of the PTK Chapter at Hagerstown Community College. It is the only organization on campus that represents HCC at the international level. Our chapter is a 5-star PTK chapter and consistently achieves the high demands that distinguishes Pi Theta from other chapters. 

The Pi Theta chapter honors the PTK hallmarks by planning and initiating advocacy, and participating in events such as:

• Researching and reporting on scholarships in time for members to apply.
• Fundraising for Relay for Life.
• Fall and Spring Adopt-a-Highway cleanup.
• Hosting the annual Green Briar summer picnic with other chapters.
• Fundraising with a holiday gift wrapping event.
• Fellowship with an end of fall holiday party.
• Advocating student commitment to complete by signing the 'Commit to Complete' banner.
• Leadership development with Competitive Edge meet-ups.
• Finding leaders and advocates in the community to speak at Pi Theta meetings and events.
