| dbo:abstract | Phi Kappa National Fraternity (ΦΚ) is a secondary school social fraternity. Since its founding in the early twentieth century, Phi Kappa has chartered nearly fifty chapters across the Deep South, from Georgia to Texas, Arkansas to Florida. No chapters of the fraternity have ever been chartered outside of the old Confederacy, making Phi Kappa the oldest and largest exclusively Southern Greek-letter social fraternity. The fraternity's colors are Purple and White. The fraternity flower is the camellia and the fraternity jewel is the amethyst. The badge of the fraternity is a gold rhombus (diamond) with blue enamel. Engraved upon the badge in gold are a Greek lamp at the apex, crossed scimitars in the middle and, at the bottom, the Greek letters ΦΚ. The crossed scimitars are a well-known symbol of the fraternity. The foundational principles of the fraternity are Brotherhood, Faith in God, Scholarship, and Community Service. Famous alumni of Phi Kappa include astronaut Fred Haise, Jr. (T), who served as the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 13 mission, John Alexander (ΔΧ), a leading tenor at the Metropolitan Opera for over four decades, Gilbert Carmichael (ΔΧ), former Federal Railroad Administrator and current Senior Chairman of the Intermodal Transportation Institute at University of Denver, Dr. Jerome V. Reel, Jr. (ΑΩ) who currently serves as Senior Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Studies at Clemson University and U.S. Congressman Steven Palazzo (ΘΓ), current Representative for Mississippi's 4th Congressional District. Two governors of Mississippi (Thomas L. Bailey, who served from 1943–46 and Fielding L. Wright, who served from 1946–52) served as adult sponsors (i.e. "chapter fathers") of local Phi Kappa chapters. As a high school student at the Lamar School in Meridian, Mississippi, actress Sela Ward was an honoree (or "little sister") for the Delta Chi chapter of Phi Kappa. (en) |
