Leadership Opportunities
The Brotherhood of Phi Kappa Psi provides opportunities to shape and perfect one's leadership skills. Within our Chapter brothers can obtain an appointed position and run for an office or a chair of a committee, positions that can lead to other leadership roles on campus and beyond. Phi Kappa Psi sponsors several leadership forums nationally. These include the Presidential Leadership Academy and the Educational Leadership consultant program.

The networking that takes place in college is continued after graduation through alumni associations.
