Congratulations on your acceptance and decision to attend MIT. This is one
decision you will not regret. MIT and the Boston area provide the ideal
environment for learning, not only about academics, but also about
friendship and about yourself.
Soon you will have the opportunity to join
one of MIT's forty living groups. The following two pages will give you an
idea of what being a member of Phi Kappa Theta is like. Obviously, mere
pictures and words are not sufficient to capture our everyday life. You
have to come to our house and talk to the brothers to get a real sense of
what Phi Kappa Theta is all about. If you see something that interests
you, give us a call, come to a summer rush party, and visit us during Rush.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer, and we'll see you soon.

Bay overlooking the tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue Mall. One block away is
the world famous Newbury Street, and a short walk brings you to Fenway
Park, Boston Common, the Boston Public Library, as well as countless clubs
and restaurants. Also, with the Copley T station two blocks away, all of
Boston can be reached in minutes. Oh yeah, and MIT is only a five minute
bike ride away. Home is where the Brotherhood is.

PKT is an introduction to people, opinions, hobbies, and places that a
person doesn't normally come across by himself. Our house is a collection
of individuals united not by a common interest in sports or partying, but
by friendship and brotherhood. Phi Kappa Theta is more than a place to
live, it is a place to call home. The friendships made here last a
lifetime.

Since there are only 35 of us, no one ever gets lost in the crowd, and it
is easy for everyone to get to know each other. At the same time, there
are enough of us that there is always someone to hang out with, discuss
politics or sports, or take a weekend trip to New York City.

We got the Good Vibrations...
Party over here! |
At PKT, we recognize the need to take a break from MIT.
Vu shows off our guests. |
After all, there is
more to college than academics. To help us enjoy these college years, we
fill our social calendar with a variety of activities. With Friday "Social
Hours," open parties, bi-annual semi-formals, barbeques, and beach trips
rounding out our social calendar, there is never a lack of things to do.
We also have our share of Varisty Athletes and have won championships in
several Intramural Sports, from basketball to softball to tennis.

If I pledge, will it suck?
Pledge PKT and you will
get a free Big Brother. |
So, you may be asking yourself, "What will my life be like if I pledge
PKT?" Maybe you're not, but we'll tell you anyway.
We incorporate freshmen into our house through a program designed to
familiarize pledges with the house, MIT, and the Boston area. As part of
the pledge program, each member of the pledge class will select a big
brother, who helps them adjust to life at the house

and MIT. Additionally,
pledges are responsible for organizing a party, a pledge trip, and other
activities which will enable them to grow closer to each other and to the
rest of the house. Our goal is to make our incoming members feel at home
in the house, while developing a sense of pride in the fraternity and
themselves, ultimately becoming men we are proud to call brothers.
