1,219 Phi Kappa Brothers Beginning with the May 30,1916 Phi Kappa Chartering, a total of 1,219 Brothers have been initiated into the Phi Kappa Resident and Graduate Chapters of AXP at the University of Illinois. Records show an additional 12 Brothers were initiated at other AXP chapters, transferred to the University of Illinois and became active in the Resident Chapter. Of the total of these 1,231 Brothers, 645 Brothers are believed to be living today. Chapter Roll Partially Recreated With documentation available through 1971, a partial Chapter Roll (Seniority, i.e., Order of Initiation Into the Bond) of Brothers initiated into the Phi Kappa Resident Chapter has been compiled. Starting with Brother Maurice Reed's (1) initiation on May 30, 1916, the sequential written records extend through Brother Ronald Balazs' (689) initiation on October 4,1971. A Brother's documented Chapter Roll position is noted in parentheses with his name in the The Brothers of Phi Kappa section. To consolidate and verify the Phi Kappa Chapter records, the National Office's computerized records, available Garnet and White magazine articles, Phi Kappa Newsletters, and Phi Kappa Council Meeting minutes were reviewed. At least one Initiation Council was not recorded in the Chapter Council's Minutes Book thus causing some duplication of Seniority Numbers in the early years. The last recorded Phi Kappa initiation was on June 15, 2017. Return to Chapter News
