 * I got a great education when I was an undergraduate many years ago, and I think being a member of Phi Kappa Psi Maryland Alpha chapter was a part of that. Its something that's helped form my life. Dealings with my family, my dealings with my friends, my dealings with all my business associates. It was a great experience and I can say nothing but good things about Phi Kappa Psi.

 * I can remember laughter and a lot of it, and the warmth of friendships and a lot of it, and it never went away.
 * Paul Coverdell, from ''Phi Kappa Psi YouTube video


 * Let us be what we say we are: a fraternity, not a club, run by men, and not boys, and based on ideals, not expediency.

 * I certainly didn't have the high school background, in math for example, to be in engineering school. and yet a couple of my fraternity brothers, who were brilliant scholars - electrical engineers,  sort of took me under their wing, and without that personal tutoring and help, I wouldn't have gotten out of Valpo.

 * ...One of the things that the Phi Kappa Psi has to offer a young man is not to feel like you're ever going to be a cookie-cut stamped out sort of figure...To have that wonderful kind of anchor of a fraternal group is a geat help to a undergarduate student trying to find his way in this tough and rather impersonal world today.
 * Peter Graves, from ''Phi Kappa Psi YouTube video


 * I don't think that college would be the same to me if I didn't have the backing and the help of the people in the Fraternity... I was a Phi Psi when I got here, and I left a Phi Psi.
