Trine University’s Indiana Alpha Gamma chapter of the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity was recognized as the nation’s best chapter this summer.
The chapter received the organization’s Founder’s Cup at the fraternity’s 64th Biennial Convention, held Aug. 4 in Lexington, Kentucky.
“We were given this award for having exemplified our five areas of development the strongest out of all chapters in our organization,” former chapter president Nathan Matthews, who graduated in May, said. The five areas of development are fraternal, intellectual, societal, spiritual, and leadership.
The brothers were very proud to receive the award.
“Our organization is very passionate about serving our community and developing our brothers to be the best leaders,” Matthews said. “We have won the award back-to-back years, so we feel very appreciative that we can set a standard for our organization and show our commitment to being there for our community.”
The Founder’s Cup is awarded to the chapter that best exemplifies the national fraternity's values and its core development areas throughout the year while going above and beyond even those expectations.
Whodunit? It’s a question board game players have asked for decades, and Trine Theatre patrons will have the opportunity to make their own deductions when “Clue” takes the Ryan Concert Hall stage of the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
Steuben County community members are invited to join Trine University students and alumni and local businesses for Breaking the Silence Together, the university's inaugural mental health walk, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.
Andrew Ripp will bring his blend of pop, soul and his own faith journey to the Ryan Concert Hall stage inside Trine University’s T. Furth Center for Performing Arts on Saturday, Nov. 14.
