Same Family. New Home.
Our switch from Phi Gamma Nu to Phi Chi Theta!
Winners of the First Annual Business Week
Exciting changes are underway
for one of the professional business fraternities inside the COB. You may know
us as Phi Gamma Nu, but we are proud
and thrilled to share that our family is taking on new letters and introducing
the professional business fraternity Phi
Chi Theta to Ohio University.
“The members from Phi Gamma Nu are ecstatic
about this amazing opportunity. Overnight this organization is getting so much
stronger,” said Trevor Skove, president of the colony of Phi Chi Theta.
Phi Chi Theta has over 40
chapters nationally with a larger alumni base to network with, scholarships and
awards for our members, career coaches and mentors, various networking events,
national marketing support, and an 80-year track record of creating tomorrow’s
leaders.
During this transition, the
COB and the university have been extremely supportive, according to Skove.
“Without both of their
support it would have been very difficult. It feels so good to know that the
leaders of the College of Business really care about what is best for their
students,” said Skove.
As Phi Gamma Nu, we
identified an opportunity we considered a positive change for the past,
present, and future of our members. Our supportive family of alumni will be
becoming charter members of Phi Chi Theta as we transition.
“The past executive boards
have worked very closely with us to reassure that we are making the right
decision and have agreed that we are, with overwhelming support,” said Skove.
We are not only thankful
for the strong backing we have received during this time of change, but we also
recognize how great of a relationship Phi Gamma Nu has had with so many.
“The sky is the limit as
this ambitious group of students makes this move to Phi Chi Theta. I think we
will again have an amazing pledge class and that our members will maintain
their current traditions and begin exciting new ones,” said Skove.
As we begin the transition
process, let it be known we are changing for the better.
Sincerely,
The colony of Phi Chi Theta
