Chapter Events

1. How do I let the rest of the region know about my chapter's upcoming events?

   If your chapter has an event or fundraiser you would like to invite the region to participate in, email the information (chapter, date, time, location, description, and any fees) and flyer to us at miregion.ptk@gmail.com.

Regional Listserv

1. What is the regional listserv?

   The Michigan Regional listserv is the Michigan Region's online mailing list. When regional announcements are made by email, instead of typing in every single individual member's email address, the sender types in the group's name (e.g. "mi-ptk-chapter-officers") and the email goes out to everyone who subscribed to the listserv. It is important to subscribe so your chapter doesn't miss out on important updates, changes in events, or announcements. Your email will not be given out to any third parties and will not be used for anything but the purpose of informing you of what was mentioned previously.

2. Who can join the regional Listserv?

   Any member of Phi Theta Kappa from Michigan can join the Regional listserv.
   

3. How do I join the regional listserv?

   You can send an email to miregion.ptk@gmail.com and we will send you an invitation to join OR you can set up an account at groups.google.com which will only take a few minutes and do a search for "MI PTK Chapter Officers" and send a request to join. Its just that simple!

4. How do I unsubscribe from the listserv?

   If you do not want to receive messages from the regional board you can easily unsubscribe by sending an email to mi-ptk-chapter-officers+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com or you can visit the MI PTK Chapter Officers group and click on "Edit my membership" located on the right-hand side to choose from other options of how you would like to view emails.
