Trocaire College is proud to welcome twenty-one new members into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.  Membership in the two-year college society is based upon a cumulative average of 3.65, service to others, and commitment to the local chapter.  The 2005 induction ceremony was held on Friday, October 21 at 7pm in the Mercy Center Chapel.
