Sporting the largest team since 2019, the Phi Kappa Tau Growth Department is geared up for a busy semester of expansion this coming Fall. Led by Associate Director of Organizational Growth Hunter Pemberton, Akron ’18, the four-man recruiter team will begin staff-driven expansion projects at four universities over the course of the Fall semester, two of which we are pleased to be announcing today.

Recruiters will be “running down the hill” with the Clemson Tigers as they restart the Epsilon Nu chapter of Phi Kappa Tau at Clemson University. Last active in 2017, the recruitment team and University are confident this Fall is the right time to bring the chapter back. Foundation Trustee Adam Goetz, Clemson ’95, and former National Councilor Bob Ragsdale, Georgia ’66, joined staff on a kickoff call for the project earlier this month to engage alumni and begin planning support for the chapter. On-the-ground support for the expansion will come from newcomers Ryan Callahan, Tennessee ’20 and Ethan Bunn, North Carolina State ’19. Both re-founding fathers of their chapters with experience recruiting in the south.

Shifting gears to the north we’ve heard reports of a certain Gopher dawning red and gold – well maroon and gold is close enough. That’s right Phi Kappa Tau will be breaking new ground by expanding to the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. The recruitment team is sending its best and brightest Midwesterners, Dom Mularo, Mount Union ’19 and Danny Baldwin, Akron ’18 to the land of 10,000 lakes to establish a new Associate Chapter at the tentpole university. We will be holding a similar kickoff via Zoom in August, more details to come. Contact Hunter Pemberton if you are interested in attending hpemberton@phikappatau.org.
More updates on these and future projects will come as the semester unfolds, follow them on social media on Instagram: Clemson (@clemson_pkt) Minnesota (@umnphikappatau). If you know someone attending either of these universities and would like to refer a member use this form: click here.
