The Delta Triton alumni and undergraduate leadership has developed a strategic plan to address the long-term viability of the Phi Sigma Kappa experience on the Purdue University campus. After careful study, assessment, and planning, it has been determined that a new home is the most beneficial option as it relates to remaining competitive and providing an attractive living and learning experience for their collegiate brothers. Phi Sigma Kappa brothers must invest in a capital fundraising campaign to meet the needs of today’s students for the fraternity to remain a strong and competitive Greek option. Working with Krittenbrink Architecture, the Delta Triton Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa has developed a house plan that is current, accommodating of technology, and attuned to meet the needs of students today. The goal is a high-quality, durable, and easily maintained facility that will provide a safe living and learning environment for many years while maintaining the storied history of Delta Triton.
