\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Earlier this week, Austin Peay State University associate professor of history Dr. Minoa Uffelman asked if there was such a word as \u201cfour-peat.\u201d She knows the word \u201crepeat\u201d well.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the University\u2019s Phi Alpha Theta (PAT) history honor society did back in 2010 when they were named the Nation\u2019s Best Chapter for the second year in a row. In 2011, she used the word \u201cthree-peat\u201d because the PAT club she advises was again singled out as the top chapter in the nation.Now, Uffelman is wondering if there\u2019s a better way to say \u201cfour-peat,\u201d because this club of energetic and highly motivated APSU students has done it again, winning an astounding fourth Best Chapter of the Year designation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really thought we would win it again, but I\u2019m glad to have it confirmed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The certificate arrived without warning Tuesday morning in Uffelman\u2019s campus mailbox. When she and APSU student Robin Sloan saw the size of the envelope and the return address from the National PAT headquarters, they knew their club had won again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe jumped up and down,\u201d Uffelman said. \u201cI said, \u2018here it is from Phi Alpha Theta.\u2019 We screamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The award recognized another exemplary year for the club, which hosted or attended more than 50 events in the fall and spring semesters, including academic conferences and volunteer opportunities. In May, the group also published the second volume of Theta-Delta, a scholarly journal featuring academic papers by APSU students who had presented at conferences in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people are certainly more aware of Phi Alpha Theta and that we\u2019re more successful,\u201d Sloan, PAT secretary, said.<\/p>\n

She joined Uffelman and the other PAT officers later that morning to go over the upcoming year. Club President Deanna Carter held a piece of paper covered in writing on both the front and back.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our meeting today, we\u2019re going over the stuff we\u2019re getting ready to do this coming semester,\u201d she said. \u201cJust wait until you see the list for spring. We\u2019re reviving up to start again.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means the PAT chapter isn\u2019t backing down from another busy year of activities. The goal now is to win yet another best chapter award.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re already planning for no. 5,\u201d Uffelman said.<\/p>\n
