Phi Kappa Gamma OKr From a school friendship in 1949 came the new fraternity called Phi Kappa Gamma. . .Ten inde- pendent students began to ponder the feasibility of a new fraternity. . .and. . .four months later, in September of 1949, Phi Kappa Gamma fraternity became a reality . . . the founders had a thankless job but today their efforts are producing results. . . Largely a group of veterans at first, these men had learned through practical experience that most men seemed to desire the friendship found in the activi- ties of an active fraternal organization . . . prac- ticality as well as friendship was to be a major factor in the formation of Phi Kappa Gamma . . . the boys set to work. . .objectives included a well directed social life. . .a concentration on improvement of the scholastic standing of the brothers . . . good fellowship. . .and the value of such qualities as honor and loyalty . . . All of which they combined to make their motto Eternal Brotherhood . . . They have been ably led in the past by two out- standing members who have helped apply the motto to the fraternity. . .Phi Kappa Gamma has high hopes of joining a national fraternity in the near future, and with a continuation of the present policies it shouldn ' t be far off. 262
