New Graduate
Congratulations on your accomplishments! As you reflect on your
recent achievements and consider where your life is going next,
don’t forget the invaluable benefits that active membership
in Phi Chi Theta can offer you.
Connections are the key to a highly successful career and future
professional mobility. You will find that, as your career progresses,
your promotions and ability to switch companies or career paths
will depend highly on the quality of your professional connections.
Continuing your active involvement in Phi Chi Theta is an excellent
means for expanding your professional network.
Through active involvement, you can enhance your professional
skills through volunteer projects and leadership positions, while
expanding your local and nation-wide network. While some professional
groups will only provide you contacts within a certain field, Phi
Chi Theta provides you a broad network of alumni that are employed
in various industries. Additionally, you will continue to make
friends for life and further deepen the friendships that you made
while in college.
Alumni can be involved as at-large members (without a chapter
affiliation) or through an alumni chapter. For individuals, there
are opportunities at the national level to gain leadership and
project experience through committees or national officer positions.
Please contact any of the national officers to inquire about individual
opportunities or to find an alumni chapter near you. If there is
no chapter near you, consider starting one. The personal satisfaction
and intangible rewards of starting a chapter are substantial.

Mid-level Professional
College is a not-so-distant memory, but those memories, while
cherished, have dimmed in the brilliance of your new priorities
and opportunities. Priorities of family, work-friends, colleagues,
and career responsibilities abound. What wonderful moments those
are!
At this stage in your life, the value of professional contacts
is of prime importance. Active involvement in Phi Chi Theta is
an excellent way to broaden your connections in various industries.
These connections may help you with professional knowledge, switching
careers, gaining promotions, or finding a new job. Also, having
connections outside your company is an excellent hedge against
corporate downsizing. Whether you are seeking a promotion or career
alternatives, there is no doubt that a group of long-term and diverse
professional contacts is vital to your future career.
Friendship is a key part of Phi Chi Theta’s lifetime membership
benefits. The camaraderie among Phi Chi Theta alumni is tremendous.
If you have a family, you’re quite likely to find a peer
group that can help enhance that experience or offer support.
As a more seasoned and established professional, perhaps you are
ready to share your experience with others. Phi Chi Theta brothers
and sisters across the nation are anxious to hear from you. They
would greatly value your input as a professional speaker, a mentor,
or a friend.
Perhaps you are short on time, but you want to help.
Making a tax-deductible donation to the Phi Chi Theta Educational
Foundation
may be exactly the right the opportunity for you. When making a
donation, you have the option to specify how it can be used. Some
ideas are to contribute funds toward regional meetings, toward
your undergraduate or alumni chapter's professional programs, or
to a scholarship fund.
Phi Chi Theta (the fraternity), in conjunction
with the Phi Chi Theta Educational
Foundation,
is working continually to improve its professional programs for
members. Be sure to visit the Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation’s
web page to learn more about this organization.
If you would like to contribute your skills toward local or national
projects, there are plenty of opportunities. Individuals may hold
national officer positions or committee appointments, and/or they
may chose to join an alumni chapter. If you would like more information,
please contact any national officer.

Senior Professional
With many years of experience, you have achieved
personal and professional success and wisdom. Your career and home
life are well-established, and you may not be seeking contacts
to enhance your professional circle at this time. However, you
have a wealth of knowledge, resources,
or talents that you may like to contribute to the organization.
If you have been involved in Phi Chi Theta in the past several
years, then your career and personal life have been changed through
those experiences. If you have been away for a while and are seeking
to re-connect with the organization, there is much to be gained
here.
One of the most personally rewarding experiences
is to contribute your talents. The national organization needs
your professional
and life experiences to guide it in a mature way toward better
business solutions. You can contribute informally by submitting
ideas or formally through taking on a national officer position,
becoming a committee chair, joining an alumni chapter, or making
financial contributions. If you are interested in active participation,
an excellent opportunity is to join the Phi Chi Theta Educational
Foundation Board of Trustees.
Please contact any national officer to learn more about
any of these opportunities.
Another way to give back to the Fraternity is
to contribute financial support to the Phi Chi Theta Educational
Foundation, which seeks to support educational
programming for Phi Chi Theta members. Donations to this organization
can be specified for a particular cause, if desired, and they are
tax-deductible. Contributing to a program or to a scholarship is
an excellent way to help current and future Phi Chi Theta members
to gain the most from their experience in the organization.

Retiree
Life has brought you many opportunities and much experience. Your
love of Phi Chi Theta, through your recent or long-past experiences,
has brought you here looking for ways to connect with this organization.
Phi Chi Theta thanks you sincerely for your years of service and
your continued support of the fraternity.
Your experience and perspective will help guide
Phi Chi Theta as it continues to evolve in the future. If you are
interested
in contributing your time and expertise, you may find a committee
chair position to be rewarding. Alternatively, you may wish to
consider serving as a Trustee to the Phi Chi Theta Educational
Foundation. Also, you
may find it rewarding to provide financial contributions to the
organization. Tax-deductible donations to the Foundation are an
excellent way to give back to future generations of Phi Chi Thetas.
Phi Chi Theta is appreciative of your life-long support of the
fraternity.
