The Great Joy...
Our motto, "The Great Joy of Serving Others," is exemplified by Phi Kappa Psi's commitment to community service. Phi Kappa Psi was founded upon this ideal and it is our belief that service to one’s community helps develop us as men of integrity and is the greatest compliment to our education. There is no more powerful way to affect the world than a member's care for his community and fellow man. Therefore, service and Phi Kappa Psi go hand in hand.
Service in Phi Kappa Psi takes on many meanings: our chapters are involved in their local communities through many fine organizations and our members take on important roles on campus to better the experience of students who will come later. Every April, Phi Kappa Psi members across the country unite in a day of service to reinforce our bonds with our communities and one another.
"The Great Joy of Serving Others" is more than a motto - it is a tradition in Phi Kappa Psi dating to our Founders, William Henry Letterman and Charles Page Thomas Moore, caring for classmates at Jefferson College during an epidemic even before the Fraternity existed. Through service to our communities, Phi Psis connect our past to our future.
The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity encourages its members to interact with Boys & Girls Clubs in their local area. Boys & Girls Clubs are recognized leaders in the field of youth development and after-school programming. Involvement with the Club in your community will provide many opportunities to express the Phis Psi motto “The Great Joy of Serving Others,” strengthening public relations while giving back to the community.
