Famous Alumni
“If it wasn't for me taking a chance and joining a
fraternity, I would definitely not be in the position I
am in today as a Leadership Consultant of Pi
Kappa Phi fraternity. Fraternity and Sorority
Life gave me the tools I needed to be
successful in college. It gave me a support
system, a group of friends, and leadership
opportunities that I couldn't have gotten
otherwise. I credit a lot of my success to the
Missouri State FSL Community. If you are on the
fence about going through recruitment, I say take
that leap of faith. “
