Prompt #5- Kin Fraternity

By: Nick Androvett


Phi Epsilon Kappa is a national professional fraternity serving men and women in the fields of physical education, health, recreation, dance, human performance, exercise science, sports medicine, and sports management. This is the kinesiology fraternity on campus. They help members reach their goals of what jobs they are looking at and help them interact with people within their field. This fraternity not only helps their members but they also go for fostering scientific research, facilitating cross-cultural exchanges of information, service to the profession, publication of periodicals for the membership and general public, recognition of outstanding work, and fostering a spirit of loyalty and fraternity and bonds of fellowship and mutual assistance.
   
The community service work they put in helps not only our own community here in East Lansing but also helps out other towns around us. The fraternity consists of multiple members who are looking to partake in some sort of kinesiology major after they leave college. This helps them connect with other members who also have the same interests. I have multiple friends who have joined this fraternity and all have said it has helped them connect with people who are giving them great advice for their future. One of my friends who is a members explains that "Not only does this fraternity connect us all as brothers but it also open up ideas and opens doors for us to not only have conversations with people who have similar interests as us, but it also helps open up doors for possible future jobs that other people wouldn't be able to get"(Bryce Gimmarro). As shown in this quote not only does this organization/Fraternity give back to the community but it also helps it's members by opening up doors for new opportunities. The way they represent themselves to the public is as a helpful fraternity and a giving back fraternity. Therefore, by interviewing my friend who is in the fraternity it has made me realize that this fraternity is a very helpful and professional in the way it handles its stuff.
