Happy Founders Day to Phi Kappa Theta!

Today, we proudly celebrate the founding of our brotherhood — built on the pillars of Fraternity, Leadership, Scholarship, and Spiritual & Social Development. Since 1889, Phi Kappa Theta has been shaping men who lead with purpose and serve with heart.

To our brothers past and present — thank you for carrying the torch of our values, strengthening our bond across generations, and continuing to 'Give, expecting nothing thereof.'

Here's to continuing the legacy!

Our condolences today are with all those mourning the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.

We’re excited to announce that registration for our upcoming Phi Kappa Theta Convention is now open!

To get started, all members must create an FSID Login through the PhiKAPP Portal at portal.phikaps.org. This secure login will give you access to registration and other important convention details.

📢 Undergraduates: Your Voice Matters in Phi Kappa Theta’s Future!

Phi Kappa Theta is shaping its Joint Strategic Plan—a collective vision for the future of our Fraternity and Foundation. This plan, built on conversations with hundreds of alumni and students since the 2023 Convention, is designed to help undergraduates, alumni, and staff achieve shared goals for lasting success.

During this month’s Konnect, President Dan Bureau will present an overview of our key result areas and, most importantly, gather input from undergraduates before finalizing the plan. This is your opportunity to make an impact before it is approved at Convention in New Orleans!

🔹 Be part of the conversation. Shape our future. 🔹

🚨 Calling All Phi Kappa Theta Alumni! 🚨

Penn State’s THON, the world’s largest student-run philanthropy, is a 46-hour dance marathon raising millions each year to fight pediatric cancer. Last year, THON raised an incredible $15.1 million to support pediatric cancer treatment and research.

💪 The Beta Gamma chapter of Phi Kappa Theta played a big role, raising over $89,000—contributing to a total of $297,000 alongside our pairing sorority, Sigma Delta Tau! This year, we’ve set an even bolder goal: $100,000. But we can’t do it without YOU!

👉 Donate here: https://donate.thon.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=4121

Thank you for your continued support. In Brotherhood and Unity, we’ll keep striving to serve and lead!

TONIGHT at 8PM

Building Strong Alumni Associations for
Lifelong Brotherhood and Chapter Success

Strong alumni involvement is essential for Phi Kappa Theta chapters to be successful, but it is often difficult to create connections among alumni. Alumni may want to get involved but don't know how or there may not be a good role for them as they manage multiple other responsibilities such as jobs, families, and other civic organizations. In this session you will hear from two of Phi Kappa Theta's most successful alumni associations: the Phi Kappa Theta Alamo Alumni Association and Iowa Xi Alumni Chapter (Iowa State University). Each brings different approaches to the successful engagement of alumni, support of chapters, and creation of affinity and connection to the national organization.
