ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME YOU RECONNECTED ONCE A PHI KAP WITH YOUR BROTHERHOOD? Always a Phi Kap

“Once a Phi Kap, Always a Phi Kap” reminds us that our Fraternity experience lasts throughout our lives. Alumni chapters provide the framework for brothers to stay connected with each other after graduation and can assist undergraduate chapters by providing guidance and stability.

We’re looking for alumni who want to start alumni chapters in their area. Each alumni chapter decides how often to meet and plans its own events. If you’re interested in starting an alumni chapter, the International Headquarters Staff will help you through the process and provide you with contact information for Phi Kaps in your area.
