Founded in 1906, Phi Kappa Tau has grown into an organization with more than 85,000 alumni members and 3,500 undergraduates on more than 85 different campuses across the country. Since the Fraternity’s founding, the success of the organization has relied on engaged and supportive volunteer advisors. As a part of the strategic plan adopted by Convention during Phi Kappa Tau’s Centennial Celebration, the organization has developed an exciting certification program to accomplish three objectives:

Each of the certification program’s three parts are approximately 20 minutes in length. The certification program will cover the basics of the topic, but supplemental resources are available on The Exchange.

Effective October 14, 2011: All Board of Governors members (Board of Governors chairmen, alumni advisors, chapter advisors, financial advisors, recruitment advisors, risk management advisors and scholarship advisors) must be a certified Phi Kappa Tau volunteer. To become a certified Phi Kappa Tau volunteer one must complete the Phi Kappa Tau Volunteer Certification Program available on-line at www.phikappatau.org/cerification. Certification is required through the Phi Kappa Tau Statutes (Title V. Section 47), the Borradaile Challenge (Board of Governors metric) and the Strategic Plan (R.3). All current Board of Governors members that are not certified by the date above will be removed from their respective chapter’s Board of Governors roster and must become certified before re-appointment.
