Thank you to everybody who joined us on Saturday! We’re so grateful to have spent some time with you celebrating Phi Kappa, even if it was over Zoom. Together we rang in a wonderful 201 years of Phi Kappa. Things may be different, but with the tenacity and effort of our siblings Phi Kappa has been built to the society we love today. In every iteration, the spirit of Phi Kappa will remain- thanks to all of you. To Phi Kappa, to 201 years, and to order!
