Phi Kappa Tau Returns to GC


Submitted on May 14, 2021

In a ceremony held on April 25, Greek fraternity Phi Kappa Tau began the process of returning to campus. Originally chartered at the College on April 25, 1970, the ceremony marked 51 years to the day of the original campus charter.

Phi Kappa Tau was established internationally in 1906 with the goal of being recognized as a leadership organization that binds men together and challenges them to improve their campuses around the world.

Since 1970, the fraternity has welcomed 619 Georgetown College men into its ranks. After the chapter took leave in 2018 due to low membership, conversations about bringing Phi Kappa Tau back to campus began in November 2020.

Georgetown College students Isaac Sullivan ’24 and Keagan Morrin ’24, both of Georgetown, spearheaded the effort to bring the fraternity back to campus, and 10 new members joined during the April ceremony.

“A big group of us came from Great Crossing High School and thought it would be fun to start something new on campus,” said Morrin. “We saw this as a way to learn about ethical leadership and also be involved in campus activities.”

The chapter aims to participate in IFC recruitment beginning next spring and officially charter during that time. “We hope to create a community on campus where people can have fun and meet lifelong friends,” Morrin added.
