VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

How Volunteers are Improving Your Fraternity

Continuing in the spirit of improving the experience for all Phi Kaps, the Fraternity maintains its focus on increasing our volunteer ranks. Phi Kap’s continued success is due to the ongoing contributions of volunteers. Paid staff simply cannot meet our needs – there are not enough hours in the day. Increasing our volunteer base 20% in 2007 (from 137 to 167 volunteers) allows us to set our sights on a new goal: increasing the number of volunteers by another 20%, from 167 to 200, by the end of 2008. Encompassing every level of volunteer, from Board Members (Grand Officers) down to the newest Assistant Chapter Advisor, this number will help make the distribution of work easier to handle. Growing our volunteer base will allow volunteers to be more engaged by the Fraternity, and stay engaged, instead of getting burned out by an excessive strain on their limited time. Refining the volunteer recruitment and placement process has been another significant goal during the past year.

The current Director of Volunteer Recruitment, Carmen Alu, (Marist, DI ’04), leads the charge in helping seek out and correctly place volunteers into needed roles. Wide ranges of opportunities exist, allowing alumni to help in roles that are aligned with the amount of time they are able to commit. From specific skill positions with an advisory board or housing corporation to national positions on committees and directing regional efforts, the Fraternity incorporates volunteer expertise at every level. If you are interested in helping the Fraternity through volunteering, we will cater to your skill set and availability. Re-engage with the Fraternity without being overwhelmed. For more information contact Carmen Alu, calu@pks.org or 610-469-3282.

There are many opportunities to volunteer in support of Phi Kappa Sigma and our objectives. Whether you are a seasoned alumni, a recent graduate or an undergraduate, there is an opportunity to support your Fraternity and your fellow brothers.
