MIT Colony
Submitted by: Jack DeBaugh
Phi Kappa Psi MIT Colony welcomed seven first-year members and two additional brothers from last spring’s recruitment. Our colony is developing a service partnership with the Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House in Cambridge, which provides food assistance and community programs that support family stability. Brothers helped with house maintenance and the Thanksgiving turkey drive, and we raised $1,000 for the organization by winning a campus Halloween decorating contest. We also held a Push for Pink breast cancer research fundraiser that brought in another $1,000 through chapter-wide challenges. Earlier in the semester, we hosted an alumni outing to a Boston Red Sox game, enabling brothers to meet and reconnect with alumni in a fun setting. Within the house, we continued to focus on brotherhood, highlighted by our Thanksgiving dinner prepared by our chef. The colony is excited to maintain its strong membership by continuing to recruit exceptional brothers, deepen its community impact, and work toward officially chartering in 2026.
