PDK-PLT Acquisition

Proposed Acquisition of Pi Lambda Theta by Phi Delta Kappa

Information for PLT chapter leaders

In September, our chapters will vote on approving the acquisition of PLT by PDK. The protocol will be one chapter, one vote, not one member, one vote. Therefore, it is particularly important that chapter leaders be informed and active in the discussions.
