Phi Kappa Theta recently partnered with Christian Brothers University (CBU), a private Lasallian university in Memphis, Tennessee, to bring a chapter to campus to support the growth of their Greek community. Fraternity staff traveled to Memphis in February to meet with CBU staff and students and were so incredibly impressed with the mission fit for the organization and the quality of the students that we immediately formed an interest group with the support of the administration and the Interfraternity Council.
Joseph Preston (Lewis University, ‘10), currently serving as the Vice President for Mission and Identity at CBU, noted, “Phi Kappa Theta is a perfect fit for CBU. CBU’s values of faith, service, and community are very complimentary to the values of Phi Kappa Theta. As an alumnus of Phi Kappa Theta, I know firsthand how much impact Phi Kaps can make on campus. Our students are excited to start the process of having a chapter here.”
Travis Smith, Director of Fraternal Growth for Phi Kappa Theta, echoed similar sentiments saying, “The mission fit for Phi Kappa Theta at CBU is palpable, and we are excited to be able to support our interest group and the larger fraternity community in their growth as men who serve society, fraternity, and God.”
Christian Brothers University represents an entirely new campus and area for Phi Kappa Theta, and we are currently looking for additional mentors, coaches, and advisors for the interest group.
