The only fraternity located in Hancock, MI; the Gamma Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau was founded at the Michigan College of Mining and Technology as Mu Kappa Mu on May 7, 1957 and chartered with Phi Kappa Tau in 1959. The brothers of our chapter believe in a lifelong commitment to brotherhood, learning, ethical leadership, and exemplary character. We accept all our brothers without reservation or evasion, regardless of race, color, religious creed, or economic level. We participate on campus through Homecoming, Greekend, and Winter Carnival. We are known for our snow statues. We are involved in the community volunteering for Pancake Breakfast at the Hancock Elementary School and Make a Difference Day. We raise money for our national philanthropy, SeriousFun, which offers free recreational experiences to children with serious illnesses. We are involved on campus through Orientation, various Enterprises, and many other student organizations outside of our chapter. We are engaged with our National Fraternity through Leadership Academy and our National Convention. Our brothers strive to become better leaders to improve our chapter, the University, and the community.
