Phi Eta Kappa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phi Eta Kappa (ΦΗΚ) is a fraternity at the University of Maine. Phi Eta Kappa has the distinction of being the oldest local Fraternity in the country. Founded in 1906, the Fraternity has been a presence on the Maine campus for over 100 years. During that time Phi Eta Kappa has remained unaffiliated with any national organizations, choosing instead to preserve their local tradition. Since 1910 the Green Wave, as they are known, have been located in their Fraternity house on College Avenue in Orono, Maine. There are currently over 1,000 living members of Phi Eta Kappa.
