Young Artist Takes Big Steps
Brother Jonathan Landre, a freshman, began taking his interest in art seriously at the start of his freshman year of high school.  When he was not drawing, he was animating, conceptualizing, or dreaming of the things he might one day do as an artist. 

Since then, he has worked in a variety of media to enhance his ability as a viable and self-sufficient artist in the creative hemisphere.  After he met his best-friend Mickey Blackwell in eighth grade– also a talented artist from Portland, Oregon – the two joined efforts in building the foundation of their clothing line, MYTHICAL Clothing Company.

Winter Rush 2012
As this semester starts, the fraternity must once again look for men who might be worthy of joining the Brotherhood of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity.

Phi Psis Go the Extra Mile
Phi Kappa Psi entails the credentials of “work hard, play hard” that represents the Brothers’ philosophy and speaks volumes of our fraternity’s character. A student can come to the university, enroll in the average amount of credit hours, and participate at the bare minimum of college life at the University of Michigan. But, a student can go above and beyond. More specifically, a student can take full advantage of their surrounding networks and take upon themselves extra responsibilities besides spending their time solely on their academic work. Students going the extra mile to do more with their lives and take on extra work are the ones who usually stand out in a pool of applicants. At Phi Kappa Psi Michigan Alpha, each and every Brother exemplifies actions representing this extra mile. We are a fraternity of over-achieving men who are goal orientated and driven to be successful.
