Phi Kappa Tau - Mississippi State University

P H I K A P PA TAU 2 The spring semester is underway, and the brothers of Alpha Chi have full schedules as they continue to excel academically, philanthropically, and professionally. ACADEMICS AND PHILANTHROPY We are proud to share that our hard work has paid off, as we have achieved a 0.13 increase in our chapter GPA from last semester. In addition, our dedication to our community allowed us to raise more than $2,800 for the SeriousFun Children's Network in the fall. CREATING LEADERS In January, Ethan Rogers '21, Jack Flower '20, Griffin Rogers '20, and Sumner Bass '21 attended the Phi Kappa Tau Zenith Institute in Fort Worth, Texas.
