Phi Kappa Theta was established by the merger of two fraternities on April 29, 1959 (Phi Kappa) and (Theta Kappa Phi). The fraternity was founded by a group of catholic students at Brown University who were refused entrance to other fraternities because of their faith.
Phi Kappa Theta has over 50 chapters and colonies across the country, ranking them in the middle, in terms of size, of other fraternities.
More than 1,500 men are actively involved in its undergraduate chapters.
Phi Kappa Theta has over 50,000 alumni brothers worldwide.
The Beta Gamma chapter at the Pennsylvania State University boasts the nickname "Phi Who" as a means of distinguishing themselves from other fraternities and the typical stereotypes that circulate. Every year the Beta Gamma chapter and the national fraternity make efforts to support the Children's Miracle Network.
