The event began with a welcome and opening remarks by ENMU-Ruidoso Department Chair of Education and PTK Advisor Cleo Mow. The guest speaker was ENMU-Ruidoso President, Dr. Ryan Trosper. Trosper praised the inductees and spoke about his own experience as a member of PTK as a college student.

The inductees signed the chapter record book to signify their first step into the society. They were each given a white candle to light from the larger candle, signifying their membership in the larger organization, and were presented with a white rose and a certificate.
