We asked members to share photos from their initiation ceremonies and you delivered! Phi Kappa Phi is excited to announce Trystan Murphy, from the University of North Florida chapter, as the winner!

“I joined Phi Kappa Phi because it represents more than just grades. To me, it stands for academic excellence and a commitment to continuous growth. Joining Phi Kappa Phi has helped me see my own strength and pushes me to keep growing and learning,” said Murphy.

Phi Kappa Phi received over 400 entries for the contest. As the randomly selected winner, Murphy will receive a customizable Church Hill Classics frame (up to $250 value) for their membership certificate.

All Society members can protect their Phi Kappa Phi certificates, diplomas, graduation regalia and other valuable keepsakes with custom frames from Church Hill Classics. Click here to browse their entire collection which can be customized to suit your taste and décor with assorted mat colors, moulding and styles. You can even incorporate the Phi Kappa Phi logo!

Visit our Flickr album to see all of the contest entries. Watch for the winning entry, along with other submissions, to appear in various Phi Kappa Phi marketing and promotional materials. If you missed out on this contest, no worries, you can enter the Spring Graduation Photo Contest between May 4 and June 22.
