| The Phi Kappa Psi Foundation recognizes
the significant support and commitment of alumni and friends and is proud
to acknowledge those individuals, foundations and corporations whom have
it possible for the Foundation to continue its mission of fostering academic
excellence in higher education. Although the benefit usually sited by donors,
as being most rewarding, is the knowledge that they are making an impact
on the lives of undergraduate Phi Psis, there are also other associated
benefits including membership in various giving societies.
Bridge Builders Society
The Bridge Builders Society is the exclusive annual gift club of
the Foundation recognizing members and friends who make annual contributions
in the amount of $250 or more. Gifts to the Endowment’s unrestricted
corpus, the Fraternity’s Loyalty Fund program and to Chapter Scholarship
Funds all qualify.
Each member of the society receives newsletters, invitations to special
donor appreciation events, advance registration for Fraternity events,
a special certificate, lapel pin and has his name displayed on the Donor
Wall of Honor at Laurel Hall. In this way, we do more to thank those brothers
who have made a vital annual commitment to support and play a crucial role
in the future of our Fraternity.
- Diamond: $2,500 and above
- Emerald: $1,000-$2499.99

Summerfield Society
The Summerfield Society honors those who have included the Endowment
Fund in their estates and through planned giving instruments such as wills
and life insurance. The Society is named in honor of Solon E. Summerfield,
Kansas Alpha 1899.
Lifetime Gift Societies
Several lifetime giving societies acknowledge the cumulative support
of the Foundation’s top donors. Each society is demarcated by dollar
amounts in order to clearly recognize the financial generosity of all
those individuals who qualify. Those who give to the Endowment Fund play
a vital role in protecting and nurturing our tradition of academic excellence.
Whether supporting a special campaign, helping build a designated fund,
or giving to the unrestricted, private donors ensure that the needs of
our members are met and that the Foundation has the resources needed to
meet the challenges of tomorrow.
