Areas of Development As defined in the Phi Kappa Theta Constitution and Bylaws, the purposes, or areas of development of our Fraternity are:

Fraternal

Man is incomplete who knows not the consolation of a firm and loyal friendship. A person who successfully identifies himself with a fraternity brotherhood will usually identify successfully with others. Therefore, our Fraternity strives to provide opportunities for learning and practicing brotherhood among its members.

Societal

God created man as a social creature, thus a well-adjusted social life is essential to our society. People must learn to develop social skills to live in harmony and in peace with one another. This Fraternity strives to meet these 3 goals as well as provide a moderate, well-directed social program for the development of gentlemen in those social graces of good manners, concern for and service to others, philanthropy, unselfishness, and an ease in communicating with one another.

Intellectual

The pursuit of education means a love of learning, the acquisition of skills for one's future, and the search for truth, knowledge, and freedom. These can be found formally in our harboring institutions, and informally in Phi Kappa Theta. This Fraternity, as a laboratory of human experiences, strives to complement its members' formal education with opportunities to instill a love of learning and achievement of high scholastic standards.

Spiritual

Our Fraternity was founded on religious beliefs. These are the foundations of our principles, values, and ideals. Phi Kappa Theta seeks to inspire its members to live by religious convictions. Members are encouraged to make the love of God and man the chief and guiding factors in their lives.

Leadership

Phi Kappa Theta seeks to provide its members varied personal experiences including learning to live cooperatively; respecting the opinions and rights of everyone; the acceptance of one another's uniqueness; the value of discipline; loyalty to others and to the organization; an understanding of unity that allows individualism while being a part of a group; the acceptance of a fair share of group obligations by assuming individual responsibility; and an understanding of leadership dynamics.
