VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
As we enter the new year, we are continuing to honor those who give their time and knowledge to our Fraternity. This week, we are highlighting Brother Michael Kester-Haynes (Pittsburg ‘16.) Swipe through and check out his volunteer experience! Who do you want to see highlighted next?
The Countdown is Officially On!
Last year, we made history with our most successful Day of Giving in our Foundation's history. On our fraternity's 150th Founders' Day, more than 540 donors came together to raise $329,428 towards undergraduate education, programs, scholarships and much more.
This year, we are going to make history again. With two months until the 2024 Day of Giving, staff is putting the final preparations on a monumental day for our fraternity.
As we begin our countdown, be on the look out for special Day of Giving content on our social media, more information on how to give back, and more.
The last 150 years of Phi Sigma Kappa history have been full of brotherhood, memories, and incredible successes. How will you help us kick off the next 150?

As 2023 draws to a close, we are pleased to announce there is a tie for #1 in our list of Top 150 Phi Sigs.
