Phi Kappa Chi is a local Christian social/service fraternity at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Founded in 1988, Phi Kappa Chi has placed every year except once that it started participating in Baylor Sing. Phi Kappa Chi is an offshoot of Kappa Omega Tau fraternity. Phi Kappa Chi and Kappa Omega Tau make up the major independent fraternities at Baylor. Phi Kappa Chi is known as "Phi Chi" amongst members of the Greek community.

[edit] Standards of excellence

The standards of excellence adopted by Phi Kappa Chi set a standard for the behavior of fraternity members to best represent the Christian brotherhood that they are apart. Among these standards include:

  1. Regular Christian fellowship, service to the church, and the pursuit of a deepening relationship with God.
  2. Serving one another, the campus, and the community.
  3. Active involvement to the fraternity and on-going efforts.
  4. A holistic pursuit of knowledge and academic integrity.
  5. The pursuit of sexual abstinence .

Beyond the standards mentioned above, the fraternity acknowledges that:

  1. Alchohol has the ability to detract from our efforts to produce positive and effective work on our campus and in our communiities. As such we believe that the highest standard that we can set for oursleves is abstinaence during our years as a member of Phi Kappa Chi.
  2. Acts of hazing are incongruent with the group's commitment as Christian men to encourage one another, and thus we commit to a zero tolerance policy on hazing in order to uphold and abide by Baylor and Texas State Law's statements on hazing.

[edit] Drinking policy

In the past, members took a pledge to not drink during their active status in the fraternity. In the fall of 2006, The fraternity reevaluated its stance on alchohol. The pledge of sobriety has not changed, but rather the fraternity has modified its core values to better fit its stance.
