Famous Alumni Preparation for the Future Francis Ahrens, 15 Leadership Consultant Pi Kappa Phi If it wasn't for me taking a chance and joining a fraternity, I would definitely not be in the position I am in today as a Leadership Consultant of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Fraternity and Sorority Life gave me the tools I needed to be successful in college. It gave me a support system, a group of friends, and leadership opportunities that I couldn't have gotten otherwise. I credit a lot of my success to the Missouri State FSL Community. If you are on the fence about going through recruitment, I say take that leap of faith. John Goodman, 75 Sigma Phi Epsilon Ryan Howard, 01 Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
