Reporting

Timely reporting helps make sure we’re functioning properly as an organization. Please help us close the loop on these missing items as soon as possible.

We have not yet received New Member Reports from the following campuses: Bridgewater State, Kansas St, Louisiana Lafayette, Missouri/Columbia, MIT, Nebraska, Northern Illinois, Penn State, RPI, Seton Hall, Umass Darthmouth, Wisconsin. If you aren’t taking a class this semester please let us know that as well. The form and link are in Asana!

Additionally, we haven’t yet received a roster update from these campuses and you’re going to be over billed for Per Capita because of that: Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kansas St, Missouri/Columbia, MIT, Nebraska, Northern Illinois, Penn State, RPI, Saint Francis, Umass Darthmouth, Wisconsin

And these chapters have not submitted and updated officer report for fall: Georgia Tech, Iowa St, Nebraska, Penn State, RPI, Seton Hall, Umass Darthmouth

Big Brother Training

Some of you have asked about the link for Big Brother Training, we’re waiting on that to be made available by our software partners that are delivering that curriculum for us. Hold tight, Coming very soon!

SEEK Conference
Some of you will be familiar with the Seek Conference of Catholic Collegiate Youth that happens annually. We are looking to create some intentional connections with all Phi Kaps in attendance during the conference. If you (or your members) are planning to attend, please fill out this form. https://phikaps.typeform.com/PKTSEEK Additionally, this is a fantastic venue to talk about who we are as an organization and potentially find additional groups of men on campuses that want to join!

Officer’s Academy

We’ll again be holding our Officer’s Academy January 5-7 in Washington DC. We’ll be asking chapters to register their incoming (or current) President, Recruitment Lead, Member Educator, and an Emerging Leader to attend. Registration information will be out in the coming weeks but please mark your calendars and share this information as many of you are embarking on Elections in the next few weeks.

Events

Our Monthly Phi Kap Konnect events online are continuing and you’re encouraged to participate. Registration info can be found here for this and future months: https://www.phikaps.org/events
