What is Achieve?

Continued self-improvement is part of who we are as Phi Kaps. Achieve is Phi Kappa Theta's multi-step strategic planning tool that allows chapter leadership and individual members to reflect and set the tone for the academic year. As a result of continued pause and reflection, you’ll be able to improve your chapter's developmental culture from year to year.

A Culture of Reflection

Our organizational approach to chapter- and self-improvement includes four steps:

  1. Assess First, reflect on your experiences

  2. Plan Next, identify and set realistic goals

  3. Execution Take action to fulfill your goal(s)

  4. Evaluate Debrief and discuss strategies for further growth.

This portion of phikaps.org is where chapters come to complete the Achieve Assessment each year.

Achieve has been reimagined and ORGANIZed for 2019-2020!

Starting in fall of 2019, we’ll focus on two main administrative tasks that simplify the Four-Step process outlined above:
