"Brotherhood is more than skin deep."
In 1858, a proposal was introduced to the Fraternity that would have made Phi Kappa Sigma an all-white organization. The proposal was unanimously voted against, therefore making the Fraternity the first to be anti-discriminatory. Our Brothers choose men to become members based on the worth of their character, not superficialities like race, religion, or wealth.
"Once a Phi Kap, always a Phi Kap."
Our Brothers retain membership throughout life, because our organization is a lifelong commitment. Our organization is not something you do for four years in college and then forget about when you graduate – it is a lifelong learning process, that defines how you mature into a better man, and gives you the ideals to live by.
