Alpha Associate Chapter Members outside Harrison Hall
Phi Kappa Tau is proud to announce the reinstallation of Alpha Chapter at Miami University as an associate chapter. Staff led efforts began early this semester in Oxford, led by recruiters Hunter Pemberton and later Hayden Schimborski with support from other members of the Executive Offices Staff.
This is the first staff led expansion effort since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and the fraternity is pleased to begin offering opportunities to build new chapters at campuses across the country. 27 new brothers took the Oath of Associate Membership on Saturday, November 20th, with alumni and friends of Phi Kappa Tau present to witness. It is a particular point of pride that the Association Ceremony was held in Harrison Hall, formerly the Old Main building, the very same building Phi Kappa Tau was founded in 115 years ago.
New Members taking the Oath of Associate Membership
“It was both a humbling and rewarding experience to watch this associate chapter come to fruition. The time spent with these men of distinction reignited my love for Phi Tau and I truly believe that this group embodies the values of our organization.” Recruiter Hayden Schimborski said when asked for comment, “Hunter and I have complete confidence that these young men will prove to the rest of the nation that our alpha chapter is back in full force and ready to redefine the expectations of fraternity men on Miami’s campus.”
The road ahead is bright for the Alpha Associate Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau, the formal recruitment period is right around the corner on Miami’s campus and brothers everywhere are excited to see how they will grow.
