New Member Education

 

Phi Kappa Psi has adopted a six-week pledge education period that is standard for all chapters and colonies of the Fraternity. The purpose for this is to help ensure that all pledges have the information and skills they need to be good students, citizens and strong contributors to the chapter as active members.
Our goal is to create leaders, not pledges, thus chapter involvement is stressed over pledge class identification. The result should be a man who knows the importance of being a good chapter member and understands the responsibilities and challenges therein. Those who have come before you know that the real work to make a chapter successful begins after one’s initiation.

EXPECTATIONS

SCHOLASTIC: Each pledge is encouraged to excel in his academic studies. Phi Kappa Psi recognizes that its relationship with the school should be one of mutual interest in the development of the student. To this end, much of the Fraternity Education program focuses on scholastic endeavor. The minimum GPA requirement for initiation is a 2.25, unless university or IFC policies are higher.

CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT: Phi Kappa Psi is an integral part of the college community. Therefore, it is important that Phi Psi’s pledges are acclimated to the Greek system and involved with other student organizations. Involvement within the university community does more than offer the pledge additional experience and training, it may also help the entire chapter in at least three ways:

  1. It allows the pledges to meet more men for recruitment;
  2. It opens the chapter up to a greater number of contacts within the student organizations that often influence University policy; and
  3. It provides members with greater opportunities for leadership development and personal improvement.

Pledges are encouraged to establish a good rapport with faculty and administrators. It is important that Phi Psi be represented in a positive manner at all times. Interaction with other student organizations is an expectation of all members of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE: Gaining an understanding of the governing structure of the Fraternity, committee structure, history, maintenance of the property, and general operations is an important part of the Pledge Education program. Periodic quizzes on reading assignments and material presented in discussions will be administered. A minimum score of 70% on each quiz is required for initiation.

PARTICIPATION: Phi Kappa Psi promotes the building of brotherhood in its Pledge Education Program. A number of events require attendance (weekly pledge meetings, study hours, alumni events, functions with campus sororities, chapter meetings, etc.). Phi Psi asks that its members give 100% to their studies and the Fraternity.
