SENATE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Phi Kappa Chi fraternity on the occasion of its 35th
anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Chi was established in 1988 at Baylor
University as a fraternity centered on the values of brotherhood
and faith; founded by two university students, Ty Bollinger and
Trent Hampton, the fraternity was conceived as an alternative to
the fraternities available at Baylor; and
WHEREAS, The fraternity's founders chose the name Philos
Kruxos Christos to represent the organization's core values of
brotherhood and unity through Christian faith; on January 26,
1988, the original 12 members of Phi Kappa Chi held their first
meeting at the Hankamer School of Business, and on April 21,
1988, Phi Kappa Chi was granted an official charter by Baylor
University; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, the fraternity has undertaken a
wide array of responsibilities in service to the community, and
its members have continued to support the fraternity's cardinal
principles of academic, spiritual, physical, and social
improvement through service; Phi Kappa Chi has contributed
immeasurably to the Baylor community, and it is truly fitting
that the fraternity be recognized on the occasion of its 35th
anniversary; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby commend the members of Phi Kappa Chi
fraternity on their commitment to brotherhood, scholarship,
service, and spiritual growth and extend to them best wishes for
a memorable 35th anniversary celebration; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas
Senate.
