2024 Omicron Founder’s Day Appeal

Dear Brother:

We are asking for your support for Omicron in a National Fraternity effort to bolster both the Omicron Educational Foundation and the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation.  Each group sponsors leadership development and officer training to strengthen our chapter and build men of character within Phi Kappa Tau. 

The Omicron Educational Foundation (OEF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1984.  Its 2021 updated mission statement is: 

To enhance and strengthen the education of individuals with the Omicron Chapter of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity at the Pennsylvania State University by promoting and providing funds to help with innovative and responsible educational and leadership development activities that cannot be funded through traditional avenues.

The OEF does this through sponsorship of our undergraduates to officer and leadership training, scholarships, emergency assistance, and educational improvements to the Chapter House, and more. 

Your support is key to maintaining our Chapter’s vitality with a robust membership of quality young men.  Thank you in advance for your support of Omicron and Phi Kappa Tau
