| (Knowing full names facilitates keeping in contact after
graduation.) Texas Beta has greater member activity than most
fraternity chapters. In joining Phi Kappa Psi one commits to active
participation throughout the undergraduate years; however, our
Bylaws provide that should a brother be unable to meet his chapter
obligations (such as because of unusual academic or financial
challenges) the chapter my, upon petition by a brother, excuse
him from
obligations for a period.
(He may not engage in
any social activities ... as long as he is excused. Similar
relief can be provided for brothers who have completed four
years of college.)
