News Help Us Move Forward Penn State Skull House is working hard to build a better Phi Kap. Psi Chapter has revitalized its presence on campus and our active brothers are committed to restoring our legacy, most recently by raising $20,000 for THON 2013 to benefit children with cancer. And now, with a re-energized Alumni Board, we have set out to finish what we started and renovate our home at Penn State, and to improve the alumni experience for you. Your participation is now needed to help us keep us moving forward. Click on the headline to read more. The Last Hurrah of College Exams are over, the boxes are packed, and the cap and gown is pressed and ready for the big event. Graduation day is such a bittersweet moment in our lives, as we say goodbye to the youth and vitality of college life, and usher in a new era in our lives: full-blown adulthood. Think back to your own time and tell us a story about your graduation day. How did you spend your final days as an undergraduate member of Phi Kap? Were there any last hurrahs or memorable moments with brothers that especially stand out? Click the headline to share your story. "Brady's Bunch" Dances for the Kids The brothers of Phi Kappa Sigma paired with “Women’s Chorale” for THON this year. Together we went canning and had a meatball sub fundraiser in the weeks leading up to THON. Our dancer this year was Paul Dunfee, a junior majoring in Supply Chain Management. Reflecting back on the experience, he said it was “The most meaningful thing I have been a part of.” For the full 46 hours there were brothers in the stands to give Paul moral support and encouragement. Our THON child, Brady Lucas, also made it to THON this year. Many of our brothers got a chance to meet and talk to him about his experience fighting cancer. Brady has touched our brotherhood and inspired us, making THON weekend not just a philanthropy event but a life-changing experience. Click here to view more photos from THON. Makin' Music with "Cheese" Thank you to Bill “Otto” Rother ’55 for sharing this story of his Phi Kap role model. He writes, “My role model was my best friend, singing partner and mentor Alan E. (Nick) McChesney ’55. “Cheese”, as some of us called him, seemed to have it all…he was on the golf team, on the tennis team, a three-time boxing champ, head cheerleader and the inventor of the flashcard show at Beaver Stadium football games. The only thing he ever lost was to me, when we both ran for “Alpha” at Phi Kap..." Click on the headline to read the full story. Searching for 530+ Brothers We need your help!
