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. Every two years brothers have a chance to attend the Woodrow Wilson Leadership School, a four-day conference with Phi Psis from around the nation.

Brotherhood

Brothers of Phi Kappa Psi are among each other's closest friends and most loyal comrades. Chapter life teaches each brother to seek mutual understanding and appreciation for each other. We make friendships that will last a lifetime and enjoy experiences in college that remain as some of our most cherished memories.

Scholarship

Phi Psi strives to achieve credible averages by encouraging a serious attitude toward study. Brothers work closely to help each other within their respective majors as mentors. The endowment fund or our national headquarters offers over $80,000 in scholarships each year exclusively to our undergraduate members.

Networking

Whether it is in the classroom, athletic courts, or during social events Phi Psis are leaders in every sense of the word. There are more than 100 corporate presidents that are Phi Psis and we have the chance to network with them, as well as men our age all over the country. The networking that takes place in college is continued after graduation through alumni associations.

Events

We participate in everything from athletics to community service to social events. We hold philanthropies including Adopt-A-highway, Phi Psi 500, Adopt-A-Family, and Boys and Girls Club among others. We also hold many parties and other events throughout the year that enhance college life. Also, we have many brotherhood events from dinners to sporting events.
