On April 24th at 3PM, the Phi Kappa Phi San Diego State University chapter #96 (chapter of Excellence) held its student induction ceremonies in the new Conrad Preby's Aztec Student Union Montezuma Hall. Before the initiation, our Executive Board members reminisced about the life and contributions of recently deceased Dr. Henry L. Janssen, a scholar-gentleman who loved learning and nurtured the ethical scholarly maturation process in students. In his honor, we embraced our past and welcomed this year's inductees with a look to the future.http://pkp.sdsu.edu/dus/phi_kappa_phi/

Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest, largest, and most selective all-disciplinary honor society, is an honor society whose scholar members are also in community, connecting and interacting with people. Down through the years( to borrow a phrase from African American southern elders), I have been blessed with mentors who modeled, and those still living who continue to model, the importance of engaging in service oriented lives: my mother, my father, Rev. S. L. Hargrove, School teacher Mary Crosby Chapelle, Dr. Charles Cutter, Dr. E. N. Genovese, Dr. Lewis Peterman, Dr Shirley Weber, and Dr. Charles Toombs, Dr. Edith Benkov, Dr. JoAnne Cornwell to name a few. I am blessed to be part of a scholarly organization that embraces service.
Board President Dr. Kathy LaMaster continues to guide the chapter in its maintenance of "Chapter of Excellence" status. She and her team of chapter secretary Rashmi C. Praba and treasurer Jill Tavolazzi and student vice-presidents work all year to co-ordinate various meetings and events.

The ceremony ended with the PKP charge to inductees spoken first in Greek, then translated to English. For many years traditionally led by Dr. E. N. Genovese, now intoned by Dr. Mark Wheeler, the English translation is "Let the love of learning rule humanity."
