Phi Kappa Tau
ΦΚΤ (Phi Kappa Tau) is a
U.S. national
college fraternity.
The Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity (commonly called
Phi Tau) was founded in the Union Literary Society Hall of
Miami University's Old Main Building in
Oxford, Ohio on
March 17,
1906. The four honored founders were
Taylor Albert Borradaile,
Clinton Dewitt Boyd,
Dwight Ireneus Douglass, and
William Henry Shideler.
Founded as the
Non-Fraternity Association to give Miami's non-fraternity men a voice in campus political affairs, the organization changed its name to
Phrenocon on
March 6,
1909 because the name Non-Fraternity Association seemed too negative.
Phrenocon became "national" in
1911 when an organization of independent men known as the Ohio University Union chose to become the
Ohio University chapter of
Phrenocon. Additional
Phrenocon chapters were established at
Ohio State University,
Centre College,
Mount Union College and the
University of Illinois. At Miami,
Phrenocon began to have difficuly retaining members by the early
1910s. Often, men would join
Phrenocon, then later withdraw their membership and join Greek-letter fraternities. In fact, the Miami chapters of
Delta Tau Delta and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon were founded by
Phrenocon members. For that reason, the Miami Chapter of
Phrenocon withdrew from the National
Phrenocon and adopted the name Phi Kappa Tau on
March 9,
1916. The rest of the chapters agreed to the name change in December of that year and invited Miami to return to the national organization as the Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Tau. Eta Chapter at
Muhlenberg College was the first chapter to charter after the change to Phi Kappa Tau.
Phi Kappa Tau has been a member since 1916 of the
North-American Interfraternity Conference(NIC) [
1], a consortium of national men's
social fraternities. As of November 2004, there are 89 active chapters and 5
colonies across the United States with approximately 83,000 initiated members.
Phi Tau's national
philanthropy is the
Hole in the Wall Camps founded by Phi Tau Brother
Paul Newman.
The Phi Kappa Tau Foundation was created in
1945 and is one of the more successful fondations affiliated with a Greek letter organization. The Foundation's significant expansion began in
1983 with the announcement of a gift of over $1-million from Ewing T. Boles, a member of fraternity's Delta Chapter at
Centre College. The Boles gift was the largest gift to a fraternity or sorority foundation up until that time. That same year Boles was named an Honorary Founder by Phi Kappa Tau. Boles left an additional bequest of over $3-million to the Foundation upon his death. Boles' example has encouraged countless other gifts to the foundation and its current assets exceed $10-million.
Executive offices of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity and Foundation are at 5221 Morning Sun Road in
Oxford, Ohio. C. Steven Hartman is the CEO, Charles T. Ball is National President of the Fraternity and Gerald Carlton is President of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation.
Phi Kappa Tau, by admitting me to membership, has conferred upon me a mark of distinction in which I take just pride. I believe in the spirit of brotherhood for which it stands. I shall strive to attain its ideals, and by so doing to bring to it honor and credit. I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter and shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of youth. I shall be a good and loyal citizen. I shall try always to discharge the obligation to others which arises from the fact that I am a fraternity man.Roland W. Maxwell (
University of Southern California, 1922)
