Sigma Omega Recognized

By Betsy Curry
The Sigma Omega Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa was recognized for the seventh year as a Distinguished Chapter and for the eighth year for their 5-Star Chapter. Sigma Omega also received the Hallmark Awards for the following; second place in Leadership, fourth in Service and second in Best Web Page. Rose Etta Kazak and Rebecca McClung were inducted into the Virginia Hall of Fame for their involvement in helping the Virginia Region.

The Honor Society recently participated in the 27th Annual Virginia Regional Convention held at the Ramada Plaza Resort, in Virginia Beach, VA. On March 4, the convention presented awards to recognize outstanding performances from the Virginia Region’s chapters. Those participating in the event included three Sigma Omega members: Patricia Klapper, Tara Williamson and Rebecca McClung. Paul and Dottie Bibbee and Dianne Davis served as advisors.

Advisors Paul and Dottie Bibbee were awarded plaques for their outstanding service with Phi Theta Kappa from the Virginia Region and International. With ten years of service behind Dottie and eighteen for Paul, the two will retire at the end of the spring semester.

The chapter is also in the process of forming a team for the 2006 Wood County Relay for Life. The American Cancer Society asks each team to set a goal of $1,000, plus the cost of shirts. Costs of shirts are $10 per shirt, and money goes directly to the American Cancer Society. There are many ways you can contribute to the team. All thoughts and ideas are welcomed on Relay for Life, the American Cancer Society and how they have become a part of popular culture.
