Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity

For Connor Brok (Drexel ’16), volunteering is a lifelong commitment rooted in the values of service, growth, and community.

As Phi Kappa Psi’s Volunteer Director of Member Education, Connor combines his professional experience as a Chemical Engineer and Continuous Improvement Manager with his passion for developing others. From his early days attending Regional Officer Training as an undergraduate to now serving in a national volunteer role, Connor has seen firsthand the lasting impact alumni can have on undergraduate members.

In his Q&A, Connor shares how his volunteer journey has not only strengthened his connection to the Fraternity but has also played a key role in his professional development — teaching him how to build effective teams, develop people, and lead with trust.

For Dustin Meeks (Ball State '14), Phi Kappa Psi has always been about more than a college experience. It’s about belonging, purpose, and the lifelong responsibility to lift others up.

Serving as the current Chapter Advisor for Indiana Iota, Dustin has carried the lessons of his undergraduate years into both his professional career and his continued service to the Fraternity.

He remains deeply committed to investing in the next generation of Phi Psis — helping young men discover their potential, build meaningful connections, and live lives grounded in integrity.

Phi Kappa Psi brought our voice to Capitol Hill. 📣 🇺🇸

Hosted by the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) and the Fraternal Government Relations Coalition (FGRC), four undergraduate brothers represented Phi Psi and Fraternity and Sorority groups at large in meetings with congressional offices to talk about the Freedom of Association in Higher Education Act and the role fraternities and sororities play on today’s college campuses. Our brothers shared firsthand experiences about leadership development, brotherhood, and the challenges student organizations face amid increasing university restrictions.

These conversations were an important opportunity for Phi Psi to advocate for the ability of students to freely associate and to ensure that fraternity perspectives are part of the national dialogue on higher education policy.

We’re incredibly proud of our undergraduate brothers* (and our alumni) for showing up with purpose and representing the Fraternity (L to R):
Trey Quick (Nebraska '25)*
Ben Sigler (Bowling Green '10)
Andrew Murga (Kansas '22)*
Charlie Weiner (Texas '24)*
Ron Ransom (Butler '00)
Samuel Broussard (Oregon '23)*
Bob Marchesani (Butler '94/IUP '79)

Volunteering for Phi Kappa Psi often starts with something simple. Showing up. Staying connected. Giving back in the ways you can.

For our third National Volunteer Appreciation Month spotlight, we’re honoring Michael Ley (Edinboro '86), President of the Pittsburgh Alumni Association. In his Volunteer Spotlight Q&A, Michael reflects on decades of brotherhood, why staying involved still matters, and how alumni support can make a lasting impact on the next generation — even in small, consistent ways.

His story is a reminder that our Fraternity is strongest when alumni remain engaged, invested, and willing to guide those who follow. Read Michael’s full Volunteer Spotlight Q&A at https://www.phikappapsi.com/blog/spotlight-michael-ley/
