The kindness and commitment to responsible citizenship does not go unnoticed among Pi Kappa Phi’s membership. Throughout what has been an incredibly challenging year for many, undergraduate and alumni alike have served as exemplars of the fraternity’s values by stepping up to lead and serve where needed.
The fraternity is proud to recognize some of its members who have gone above and beyond their pledge to uphold Pi Kappa Phi’s values as outstanding community members and dedicated servant leaders. In challenging times, those who have challenged themselves to make a difference are deserving of praise.
COVID HEROES COVID H MEMBERS OF THE Theta Kappa Chapter at Baylor utilized a donation from Baylor Scott & White and helped distribute more than 21,000 bottles of hand sanitizer donated to the university this fall across campus to greek organizations and residence halls, providing more than $110,000 worth of product. “In a year of a pandemic and a year when nobody is getting to do anything, we’re getting to help,” Chapter Advisor Randy Wood said in an article from the Baylor Lariat, Baylor’s student-run newspaper. “We hope it will help continue to make our campus safe. We are down to around 74 active cases now. I’m ready to see us going down to zero, and maybe this will help us do that. We hope so.” Chapter member Christian McSweeny expressed that he and his brothers were more than happy to help their campus community, and were able to use the volunteer experience as an opportunity to come together as a brotherhood to make an impact. “We are super excited about this,” McSweeny said. “This is something I think is really great, especially considering we are in the middle of the pandemic. Hopefully, this can alleviate some uncertainty with the times that are going on right now. We just want to do everything we can to help out the Baylor community and to help Waco.”
