Phi Kappa Tau expansion

[modorney]

I talked with Tom today on the phone, and he said, "Hey, send me the links to all the stuff we talked about, so I can look it up tomorrow." I figure, what the heck, I'll share it with everybody.

Phi Kappa Tau - 85 chapters and colonies, lots of expansion efforts - the most recent ones to charter are Charleston and Texas - Austin. 8 charters this year! Sacramento State is a recent recolonization.

California Greeks - I'm in Northern California and I try to watch everything from San Luis Obispo, north.

Thanks Mike.

Seems like a lot of local type GLOs.

Also looks like room for National expansion, say Acacia for example and even LXA!

Phi Kappa Tau to Hire Expansion Consultant

December 14, 2012: Oxford, Ohio—Phi Kappa Tau plans to hire an expansion consultant to work on current and upcoming expansion projects. The Fraternity hopes to have the full-time position filled in January.

If you are an organized and outgoing individual, you may be the right candidate for this role. Those individuals who enjoy recruitment and embody the founding values of the Fraternity are highly sought. Expansion consultants are on the front lines of helping undergraduate men create the Phi Kappa Tau experience and making the Fraternity grow. Joining the expansion team will literally allow you to create the future of Phi Kappa Tau.

The Fraternity's expansion team has achieved great success recently with eight chapters completing the colonization process and chartering in 2012.

This is an entry-level position, although ongoing professional appointment is expected (subject to periodic evaluation and review).

If you are interested in learning more about this position, please e-mail a cover letter and résumé to Director of Chapter Services Tim Hudson, Truman State '97, at [e-mail]

Wow, looks like PKT is becoming proactive!

Maybe this will get some others off of square one and do the same. Kudos to them.

PKT seems on the ball

They have a Volunteer Development Institute that seems to be quite good
www.phikappatau.org/index.php/volunteer-development-institute-overview.html

A really good blog
phitaublog.org/

And has a regional governance structure, and a Chief Alumni Officer

No solid mentor program (Balanced Man) but a lot of programming retreats.

And their magazine - the Lauredl - needs to come out more often

Got to admire them!!!
