Phi Kappa Psi Leadership Competency Model

As a leading fraternity for college men, Phi Kappa Psi developed a set of member development programs that fit the needs of the modern collegiate man. Each of our educational programs are built upon a set of intentionally chosen leadership competencies. Our goal is to cultivate men who are self-aware, cultured, active members in their communities and looking to make a meaningful impact in all of their personal and professional endeavors.

Modeled on the Student Leadership Competencies approach and the Social Change Model, the Phi Kappa Psi Leadership Competencies provide a framework for members to build relevant skillsets for their personal and professional lives. The model provides a roadmap for the skills and abilities Phi Kappa Psi brothers should aspire to exemplify throughout their lives.

Each Phi Kappa Psi member development program is designed with these competencies in mind— ELEVATE, PIVOT, and Regional Leadership Training are just a few examples of how we cultivate these competencies in our members.
