Initiation

Members are inducted at the same time that the Freshman Honor Society, Phi Eta Sigma, has their inductions.  At this time they also formally install faculty officers and sometimes they install student officers.  Either the President of the College or the Provost gives the Welcome speech and awards Phi Kappa Phi members with their pins.  Traditionally, they host the on-campus reception after the induction.  During the Intiation there also is a key note speaker.
