BCC’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) is known as Xi Alpha. The purpose of this society is to recognize and encourage scholarship among junior and community college students. An induction program is held in April or May. Students must be currently enrolled at the college and have accumulated 12 or more BCC credits that apply toward graduation. Students are provided with leadership opportunities and are encouraged to participate in community service projects. PTK membership qualifies students for special scholarships at many four-year institutions.
