What's Different about Pledging Phi Kappa Psi?

     • The demands on the pledges' time are reasonable and proper consideration is given to academic responsibilities of the pledges. Also, all members and pledges are encouraged to get involved in campus activities outside of the fraternity.

     • The program is based on friendship and compatibility, not pledge subservience.

     • The concept of pledge class unity is not over-emphasized. Chapter unity is encouraged and friendships are common both within the pledge class and the chapter.

     • Each pledge is considered on his own merit, others are not judged by his success or failure, and vice-versa.

     • The pledge understands and accepts the purposes and aims of the program as he begins his pledgeship. All aspects of the pledge program are written, duplicated, and distributed to the pledges and Brothers at the start of the program.

     • A Chapter retreat is held early in the semester to help everyone know each pledge better.

     • The Chapter understands the goals and activities of the pledge program, and they cooperate with and support the Fraternity Educator, who is appointed by the chapter president to teach and guide the pledges.
