Meet the Expansion Committee

Our team members work hard to ensure that your interest group is colonized, and that your Colony becomes a fully chartered Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma. With team members from both large and small Chapters, both housed and unhoused, from all across North-America, our team brings a large amount of perspective to each expansion opportunity. The Expansion Committee is extremely skilled at quickly identifying the areas of need for an interest group or Colony, and mobilizing resources to help. Find out more about each team member and email Lonny Boeke if you would like to start a Phi Kappa Sigma Chapter today.
