Practice What We Preach - Staff "Brotherhood"

Today I was asked by a non-member and somebody who does not work for their National Headquarters what I liked best about working for Phi Kappa Theta. The answer was so easy it surprised me. I respect the organization because people, even at the highest levels, try to live out our mission every day. There is no hypocrisy. So often you see organizations preach to their members to be interfraternal and then you see their staff or board members saying negative things about other organizations. I also love hearing high level people talk about brotherhood and then watching those same people fight and bicker and disrespect each other. I see a lot of hypocrisy, but not in Phi Kappa Theta. I love knowing that the Board of Trustees has such professional and selfless men serving. We stress brotherhood to our chapters. Yesterday the staff had a "brotherhood" outing at a baseball game. It was so fun and the weather was perfect. In addition, we're preparing to do a service project in a couple weeks working at the Special Olympics. We as individuals give time to impact our society, just as the mission states. We do it as a staff as well. I'm not sure I've been as grateful to work for such a great organization as I was today when I was asked to reflect on my favorite part of Phi Kappa Theta.
