What is the mapping project?
We are mapping the locations of every Phi Theta Kappa chapter on interactive maps. As part of the program we are determining geographical conditions as they relate to the affluence of each region. There is an Affluence Questionnaire on this site that will be use to understand the conditions.

What are the projects goals?
To better understand the differing views of the current Honors Study Topics, The Paradox of Affluence: Choices, Challenges, and Consequences by geographical area.
To connect Phi Theta Kappa members, chapter, regions, and divisions so that their efforts can be combined to save resources and have a larger impact though programming.
To map the locations of all of the chapters of Phi Theta Kappa so as to make an interactive map that will further save resources by its use. Back to top

How does this relate to the Honors Study Topic- The Paradox of Affluence: Chooses, Challenges, and Consequences?
This is an effort to better understand the differences between perceived affluence and actual socioeconomic conditions. Also, the reason geographical locations affect the affluence of an area is a paradox. Back to top
