Rush Phi Kappa Psi
Ask Yourself, "Why
Phi Psi?"
Values and Responsibility
When we come to college, our habits are not
completely crystallized. We face four years that
will shape our thought process and actions for
the rest of our lives. The oath Phi Psis take to
the Fraternity’s basic principles of honor,
truth and service to others influence these
patterns for the rest of their lives. Phi Psi
chapters utilize their collective influence to
hold themselves to being men of excellence who
behave responsibly. This means that Phi Psi
chapters don’t haze their new members, they obey
the law, they act in a manner that brings honor
not just to themselves but to Phi Psis
everywhere, they treat women with respect and
they protect those who cannot defend themselves.
Holding yourself to a higher standard can be
what separates you from the pack during and
after college.
Networking
After graduation, networking will play a key
role in job searches and future employment
opportunities. During their years spent in the
chapter, Phi Kappa Psi members develop their
interpersonal skills by interacting with the
diverse members of their chapter and practicing
recruitment of qualified men. Strong chapters
exert a positive influence over members to hold
themselves to gentlemanly behavior at all times,
thus better preparing their social poise for
life after college. Additionally, Phi Kappa Psi
offers members an instant network of over 70,000
living members with similar ideals and values.
Regional Alumni Associations keep members
connected and many loyal Phi Psis continue to
attend national events for years after
graduation.
Brotherhood
Phi Psi often provides members with a home away
from home. Members have a group of diverse
brothers there to pick them up when they are
down, support them when they need it and guide
them when they stray from the course. Nothing
can duplicate the bonds of brotherhood during
and after college.
Leadership
Chapters of Phi Psi offer members the
opportunity to step into officer leadership
roles, often seeing to the needs and
coordinating the actions of 50+ people. On the
committee level of Phi Psi, members learn to
cooperate in groups and work together to solve
problems. In addition, the National Fraternity
offers members several annual leadership schools
and on site leadership retreats to develop all
our member’s skills. Phi Psis have the potential
to step out of college with a leg up on the
competition in terms of leadership capability.
Academics and Scholarships
Phi Kappa Psi is committed to the academic
success of its members; in fact it is our top
priority. We exist to compliment and support the
academic experience of each member of Phi Kappa
Psi. On many campuses across the country, Phi
Kappa Psi ranks among the top groups in GPA.
Many chapters have scholarship programs that
include minimum GPA requirements, study support
systems, study and time management workshops,
incentives for improvement and excellence in
academics, and general guidance in academic
success. Nothing can come close to the value of
an older chapter brother there to guide you
through the toughest of scholastic challenges.
Furthermore, the Phi Kappa Psi foundation
supports members academically by annually
offering over $350,000 in scholarships and
grants to members of the Fraternity.
Lifelong Friendships
Upon joining Phi Kappa Psi, members form
lifelong bonds that never die. The oath Phi Psis
take will forever keep them connected in spirit.
Many members utilize national Phi Kappa Psi
events as opportunities to see their old friends
whom they were so close with in college. Now,
with online networking tools like Phi Psi
Connect, keeping in touch with brothers is
easier than ever.
Dedication and Loyalty
Phi Kappa Psi does not work without a strong
commitment from our members. Any member can tell
you that, just like in life in general, you will
only get out of Phi Psi what you put in. This
dedication will carry throughout life for many
Phi Psis. Also, your undergrad experience will
be enhanced such that you will be more likely to
return to campus for homecoming, to meet with
old friends and meet the new, young Phi Psis,
years down the road.
Business Skills
All of the above mentioned attributes,
particularly time management skills from
scholastic training, networking, loyalty and
leadership are highly valued by businesses
searching new employees. As previously mentioned
so many times, Phi Psis graduate with a leg up
on the competition.
Phi Psi for Life
One of the great things
about fraternity life is
that, for all of the fun
and the friendships you
make as an
undergraduate, you're
joining your
organization for life.
With Phi Psi, the
rewards of your
membership grow
throughout your
lifetime.
As
a young alum, there's a
good chance that you'll
move away from your
campus and even your
hometown. It can be
difficult to find a
support structure, but
with 70,000 brothers
across the globe, you're
never far from a
brother. From networking
to just having someone
to talk to, Phi Psi will
be there.
When you start a family,
you make a huge
commitment that can
sometimes push other
interests to the side.
The Fraternity's Alumni
Associations can help
you stay involved with
Phi Psi without falling
behind on your other
responsibilities. You'll
get to stay in touch
with local Phi Psis,
enjoy various events for
all ages and even attend
National events, where
the sense of Brotherhood
that is a hallmark of
our organization shines
brightest.
As
you get toward and
beyond retirement, Phi
Psi can become a place
to pass on your wisdom.
Some of our most
committed members have
been of retirement age,
and have given of their
time, talent and
treasures to keep Phi
Psi a premier
Fraternity.
