Delta Kappa Chapter

Phi Kappa Tau was founded in as a leadership organization dedicated to transforming men of character into men of distinction. Our mission is to champion a lifelong commitment to brotherhood, learning, ethical leadership, and exemplary character. It is the pursuit of this mission that defines our values: the bond between brothers, a dedication to leadership and service, and a responsibility to be exemplary members of the community in which we live.

In true Phi Tau fashion, alumni Paul Newman founded SeriousFun Children’s Network, a foundation with the purpose of bettering the lives of children afflicted with disabilities. Since its inception, Phi Tau has supported SeriousFun as its national philanthropy foundation, allowing chapters of Phi Kappa Tau from all over the nation to sponsor a child with disabilities at an all-expenses-paid camp for the summer. This camp allows these children to embrace the joys of childhood while providing the highest quality medical care free-of-charge to their families.

In 2020, the Delta Kappa Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau received the Norman W. Brown Award for raising the most money for their philanthropy and was able to sponsor several children at that year’s SeriousFun Camp. That same year, the Delta Kappa Chapter earned the Fletemeyer Prize awarded to the Best New Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau, fresh off the heels of their re-chartering in March of 2020. These awards join a roster that includes Colony of the Year and an Academic Excellence Award. In 2021, the Chapter also received the Maxwell Trophy for the most outstanding Phi Kappa Tau Chapter in the nation.
