MOD ASSOCIATE WORKBOOK 2.0 A Mark of Distinction The Mark of Distinction workbook is intended to guide you through your associate member period in Phi Kappa Tau and help you become a man of strong character. As an associate, you will find that the more you actively involve yourself in the learning and sharing process, the more the Fraternity will give back to you while helping to build ties of brotherhood that last a lifetime. Give the materials in this manual your utmost attention, just as you would one of your classes on campus. Each week, you will get a glimpse of Phi Kappa Tau’s history and the high ideals the Fraternity has instilled in its members for more than 100 years. The creed of Phi Kappa Tau expresses these ideals and the character that each of you will achieve as a member of our Fraternity. You will discover exactly what the creed means and how you express it in your daily life. Remember, Phi Kappa Tau is not a four year experience—it is a way of living that you will carry with you throughout your life. We are confident that this manual, along with the support of your fellow associates, Membership Orientation Officer and undergraduate brothers, will guide you to be a man of strong character. Remember, you must be consciously aware of your character and work at it each and every day for the rest of your life. Don’t strive for perfection—strive for excellence! Congratulations once again on being chosen as an associate member of our esteemed Fraternity. We trust you will do all in your power to help build upon the strong brotherhood of the 90,000 men who already share this experience with you.
