Fall 2019 Expansion Wrap Up

The newest associates at the University of Delaware

The newest associates at the University of Delaware

A strategic imperative of Phi Kappa Tau, our expansion projects are selected intentionally and thoughtfully to find campuses who need us, alumni that are interested in seeing their chapters return, and student interest groups. This fall, alumni groups were particularly excited as all of our expansions return groups.

We are particularly excited to welcome 30 new associate members to the Alpha Gamma chapter at the University of Delaware. This group has hit the ground running and is already weaving themselves into the fabric of the Delaware campus by participating in social and service events.

Our other expansion projects this fall included Alpha Rho at Georgia Institute of Technology, Delta Upsilon at the University of Tennessee-Martin, and Tau at the University of Michigan. Recruiters held individual meetings, built group camaraderie, and demonstrated the basics of event planning and meeting structure to successfully build these colonies. We look forward to employing these strategies as we return to Eta chapter at Muhlenberg College this spring!

In the expansion department, the Associate Director of Organizational Growth, Darryl Thompson, Old Dominion ’14, has accepted a new role within the Phi Tau Foundation as Philanthropy Coordinator, and Recruiter Alex Papke, Baldwin Wallace ‘14, will be assuming the new role as Associate Director. We wish both men luck in their new roles!
