Alpha Mu Tau's Triumph at Texas Regional Convention

On March 5th, the Alpha Mu Tau Chapter went to the Texas Regional Convention of Phi Theta Kappa. This is one of many Conventions that members and officers get to go to. What is special about Texas Regional Convention is that this is where the entire Texas Region Convenes to elect their next Regional Officer Team, and come together to celebrate a whole year's hard work of all the chapters around the Texas Region.

The whole chapter runs for the Regional Office, and there are 2 different positions the chapter can run for. Essentially, the Texas region is divided up into 5 Districts, all of which have Vice Presidents, and Alpha Mu Tau falls under District 2. The Chapter may also run for the Regional President position, which oversees the 5 Districts. Our Chapter ran for the District 2 Vice President Position and we won!

The chapter also had other accomplishments from programming that occurred throughout the year 2019. Below is a list of all our achievements and the recipients of individual awards.
