Phi Psi Today
Mentoring
Mission
The general goal of the Phi Kappa Psi mentoring
initiative is to establish a culture of strong alumni-undergraduate interaction
for the national fraternity. ‘Mentoring’ in its most basic form exists whenever
and wherever Phi Kappa Psi alumni provide guidance to Phi Kappa Psi
undergraduates on issues they will face in their lives – both during and after
their college years.Local mentoring programs offer a level of engagement and member development designed to be a beneficial experience for both alumni and undergraduate participants. In addition to providing a positive mentoring experience to undergraduates, the Mentoring Program reinforces the conviction that our fraternal brotherhood and its ideals continue to impact us throughout our lives. As the first paragraph of The Phi Kappa Psi Creed reads: “I believe that Phi Kappa Psi is a brotherhood of honorable men, courteous and cultured, who pledge throughout their lives to be generous, compassionate and loyal comrades…”.
Participants are given the freedom to tailor the
goals of their local program. Some programs may focus more on career path
development and preparation; other programs may focus more on personal growth
and maturity issues. Program leaders are encouraged to actively engage their
participants in setting mentoring goals and providing programming to address
these needs.
This programming is viewed by the national
leadership as being of central importance to the strength of our fraternity.
Close to 20 chapters are providing a mentoring program to their members this
biennium. These local programs are leading the way to a future in which Phi
Kappa Psi alumni forge strong bonds with undergraduates to prepare them for the
many challenges of life.

Real life successes
“Meeting my mentor has opened my eyes to what it means to be a lawyer in the real world. Sitting in court with Eric and listening to the deliberation incited my passion even more for my emerging legal career.”- Zack Rosen Minnesota '07
“While being a mentee I have had a great experience thus far. I was able to get an incredible internship with 3M in my intended field which could potentially lead me on a great career path. Nathan has always been there to help me whenever I needed it. I am thankful that Nathan is still my mentor and was able to aid in my search for a career.” - Sam Wright Minnesota ’07
“Casey and I worked on steps to attract the attention of the hiring manager and to be distinctive as a candidate. I could see Casey's confidence grow as we worked on each step and I believe Casey was learning and internalizing some of the ideas, concepts, and techniques. He is a great brother and I hope that our relationship can continue at some level that would be satisfying to Casey." - Fred Hegele Ohio State ‘63
“I have found that participation in the mentoring program is a great was to stay connected with the active members of the house, as well as an opportunity to help a brother develop his education and future career through a one on one relationship. It was clear that he valued our relationship and the opportunity to better understand how to prepare to exit college and begin his professional career. This experience has been very rewarding and I hope other chapters around the country develop similar programs.” - Nathan Fong Minnesota ‘01
