Phi-Epsilon Kappa

Phi-Epsilon Kappa

Phi Epsilon Kappa is a national professional fraternity serving men and women in the fields of physical education, health, recreation, dance, human performance, exercise science, sports medicine, and sports management.

Phi Epsilon Kappa objectives include fostering scientific research, facilitating cross-cultural exchanges of information, service to the profession, publication of periodicals for the membership and general public, recognition of outstanding work, and fostering a spirit of loyalty and fraternity and bonds of fellowship and mutual assistance.

Chapters traditionally engage in activities to promote the objectives of the fraternity and have included sponsorship of seminars, clinics, workshops, and other educational activities. Collegiate chapters often devote many hours of service to their respective departments, schools, and communities.

Advantages of membership include opportunities for working with peers, socio-cultural opportunities, lasting friendships and fraternal spirit, opportunities for professional growth and leadership development, feeling of mutual interest and responsibility, and healthy professional spirit among the members and the other students in the department.

For information on becoming a member of the KIN chapter of Phi Epsilon Kappa, check with the secretary in the Department of Kinesiology Office or Dr. Deborah Feltz, the faculty mentor to the organization. Acceptance of membership and initiation occurs early during fall semester only.
