Columbia, Mo. (August 28, 2022) — The brothers of Phi Kappa Theta’s Missouri Kappa Upsilon Chapter held an Alumni-Collegiate Golf Tournament to kick off their 100th anniversary celebrations. The inaugural event brought dozens of the chapter’s alumni from the St. Louis area to reconnect with collegiate members. Originally installed in 1922 as Phi Kappa and later merging with the 1948-chartered Theta Kappa Phi, the brotherhood is commemorating their monumental mark in chapter history.
Brother Zach Khennafi (University of Missouri, ‘25) reflected on the event: “All of our brothers had a great time playing golf and meeting up with a group of alumni this weekend. We hope to establish this as a new tradition in coming years and further our college and alumni relationships in the future.”
Collegiate members enjoyed a day on the green followed by a BBQ at the golf resort. Brothers from across generations exchanged experiences as Phi Kaps and were given updates on current chapter activities and initiatives. Chapter alums were excited to see the recent success of the chapter being named the top fraternity ranked by grades on the University of Missouri campus. The brothers were excited to rekindle relationships with those that came before them as they plan for many more years on the state university’s flagship campus.
“The alumni golf tournament was an amazing beginning to new relations with our alumni. It gave us the opportunity to know them, and, more importantly, for them to know us. Interacting with our brothers of the past has shown me a bright future for this chapter,” newly-initiated Brother Austin Williams (University of Missouri, ‘25) said.
As centennial celebrations begin to ramp up for the chapter, the collegiate members of the Missouri Kappa Upsilon chapter are excited to welcome home their brothers of generations past.
