The 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) continues to celebrate storytelling and community connection through its ongoing β40 Years, 40 Stories, 40 Daysβ project. What began in the spring of 2025 as an ambitious plan to collect and preserve 40 unique stories from 91Ώμ»ξΑΦβs past has grown into a meaningful chronicle of the collegeβs history, people, and spirit.
βStories help us connect with othersβthey unite, divide, and shape us,β said Andrew Higgins, PTK Chapter Vice President of Honors in Action and project lead. βThey inspire us, make us laugh, remember, and cry. Preserving stories is saving the past: who we were, what we did, and how we did it.β
Since launching the project following 91Ώμ»ξΑΦβs 40th Anniversary Community Picnic, PTK members have continued releasing new video interviews that spotlight voices from across the college communityβstudents, faculty, alumni, and supporters who have helped shape 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ over the decades.
Higgins is joined by LaDarrius Patterson, Chapter Liaison with the 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ Theatre Club, along with a dedicated team of PTK members who have conducted interviews, edited videos, and managed production, including Araceli Landaverde, Cash Covey, Emma Mendoza, Hailey Randall, Jose Fuentes, Karen Hernandez, Rebeca Martinez, Sarah Hamlin, Stephanie Hernandez, and Xenia Esparza.
New stories continue to be released regularly on the chapterβs YouTube channel, PTK Chapter Project 40 Stories 40 Days, where viewers can explore the growing collection and subscribe to be notified of future releases.
βThis project has been about more than just recording memories,β Higgins added. βItβs about preserving the heart of 91Ώμ»ξΑΦβthe people and experiences that make our college community so special.β
