What We Do

Unfortunately, life at MIT isn't all fun and games.  We all decided to attend MIT because it is one of the top schools in the country, no matter what major you declare. For that reason, we take our school work seriously at Phi Kappa Theta.  We have brothers majoring in almost every field. Some of us are engineers...and well, some of us aren't, but no matter what field, someone is always willing to help out with a tough problem or a course bible to consult. Every year a fair number of brothers serve as tutors and TAs for various classes; so, we don't hesitate to ask for their help; it's their job!

Our Scholarship Chair provides assistance with reminders for major academic deadlines, finding tutors or study groups, and general study skills.  Each term, we organize a faculty mixer to improve faculty relations, and give brothers a better chance to connect with their professors. In fact, these mixers have helped us win the IFC Faculty Relations Award over the past several years.

PKT also provides a lot of assistance in helping freshmen adjust to the rigorous academic challenges of MIT.  Toward the beginning of the year, we hold a time management seminar that is mandatory for freshmen in order to cultivate the proper fundamentals to get them through MIT.  It is also common for freshmen to be able to go to any of the upperclassmen for help as they are almost always willing to provide assistance with problem sets or advice on class and major select ion. Additionally, many of the upperclassmen have books and course bibles which can be borrowed by pledges or brothers.
