50th Convention Update

If you're a blog reader, often you are privy to the latest information on PKT and what we're doing. This post is about something that we have not publicly announced yet so feel special to be getting the exclusive information.

This year we have embraced technology for the 50th Convention. You may know that we have a Phi Kappa Theta Twitter page, a YouTube where we post our videos, the Facebook page, and this blog but we have stepped up yet again. The newest rage is Event Tweets on Twitter. Confused? Get on Twitter and search #PKT50th and you'll find people's Twitter updates that are related to our 50th Convention. From now until Convention you'll see staff members updating the Twitter account and including #PKT50th in the update. That's called a hashtag and it's a way to organize posts. It allows multiple people to Tweet about the same topic and keep it in one place. Once Convention begins, any attendee at Convention will have the ability to add #PKT50th in their update if it's Convention related and people who are not attending can see live Twitter updates from Convention in Columbus. Pretty cool, huh!? So if you're going to Convention be sure to start your Convention related Tweets during your travels to Convention and use #PKT50th in or at the end of your tweet. If you're not attending - be sure to search #PKT50th on Twitter to follow status updates straight from the membership in attendance.
