12. Our Golden Key
Across the center of the slab is a
black enamel band upon which three
Greek letters appear, which are the
initials of three mystic Greek words
phronimon (Phi), thumos
(Theta), katharotes (Kappa) and
meaning wisdom, aspiration, and
purity.
13. Our Golden Key
Behind the band is a
wreath, composed of oak leaves
on one side and composed of
laurel on the other.
14. Our Golden Key
The wreath of oak leaves
denotes stability and strength of
character, and the curling
leaves of laurel signify
achievement and success.
15. Our Golden Key
Above the band is a representation
of the head of Athena, symbol of
learning; on the base appears the
Greek letters forming the word
meaning light, the light of learning
and knowledge
(φῶς, phi, omega, and sigma).

university. Once a PTK member, always a PTK member!

54. At the end of life we will not be judged
by how many diplomas we have
received, how much money we have
made, how many great things we have
done. We will be judged by "I was
hungry, and you gave me something to
eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I
was homeless, and you took me in.”
- Mother Teresa
55. There is no exercise better for the heart
than reaching down and lifting people
up.
- John Holmes

who lightens the burdens of
another.
