The Kappa Tetarton
Colony currently has a membership of 24 Associates, with 2 additional men
to be associated in the near future. This bodes well for our march
towards chartering. Recently the Grand Chapter expansion director
visited SIUC to consult with the Colony on their progress. During
this visit, there was talk of a tentative chartering date in April.
Though nothing is final just yet, we are one step closer in realizing our
goal of bringing Kappa Tet back to SIU Carbondale. Among other
criteria, The Grand Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa has consistently held that
it would like to see Colony membership stand at 30 men in order to qualify
for Re-Chartering.
The exceptional men
of the Kappa Tetarton Colony have done an outstanding job over the last 2
years of displaying their deep commitment to our Cardinal Principles of
Brotherhood, Scholarship and Character. It goes without saying that
without their hard work and sacrifice, we would be mourning Kappa
Tetarton's past, not inspired by its future.
A word of thanks is
also appropriate to all of you, the Alumni, who have given your time, your
money, and your hearts to this cause and this fraternity. The day
Phi Sigma Kappa counted you among it's ranks was a day of great
pride. We all look forward to the day which these young men will be
inducted into our brotherhood and carry on the legacy of Kappa Tetarton
for generations to come.
A very special thank
you goes out to Matt and Keo, our Colony Advisors for their willingness to
shoulder this endeavor, and to the Alumni board who gathered in a dark
corner of a bar 15 months ago and resolved to establish and grow our
Alumni Association.
Damn Proud!
