For the second year in a row, Pi colony at University of Southern California has won the prestigious Rise of Troy Award.

The Troy Award seeks to recognize a chapter who demonstrates excellence and outstanding growth in recruitment and intake efforts, education, retention, and engagement, and efforts of its members to promote growth and stability of their organization.

The Pi Colony’s official statement:

As the University of Southern California’s newest expansion, the Pi Colony of Phi Kappa Tau is proud to be the university’s largest expansion in the last fifty years. After the contraction of Greek Life within the last decade at USC, Phi Tau is determined to demonstrate that Greek Life can thrive and be a positive influence on the Trojan community. After starting with 22 members, Phi Tau has proudly associated over 40 members since its re-colonization in the fall of 2018. As the newest addition to the Row, we are committed to leading by example and serving as a role model for the rest of the USC community as we continue to grow and change the culture of Greek Life as USC. Under the leadership of former President Seth Novosel and current President Ralph Sun, Phi Tau has led the way in nearly every single metric. Our members are smart and well-engaged in the USC community, as over 70% of our members were involved in other student organizations and over 40% of our members hold leadership positions in such organizations. Phi Kappa Tau has demonstrated that any chapter, no matter how small or new, can make a big impact and serve as a role model for the USC community.

In 2019, Pi Colony won the Rise of Troy Award for the first time, as well as the prestigious Trojan Greek Emerging Leaders of the Year award. Go Far!
