Welcome to Kappa Eta Phi – Alpha Chapter! 

 

My name is Luke Pettyes, and I am proud to be serving as the President of Kappa Eta Phi for the 2025-2026 school year!

 

I joined KEP in the spring of my freshman year, still feeling a bit lost on such a large campus. Wanting to find a meaningful community and challenge myself, I decided to rush—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the start, I was welcomed into a supportive environment where members truly lived out KEP’s pillars of diversity, professionalism, and brotherhood.

​

Since then, KEP has significantly shaped my college experience. It’s helped me grow professionally, take on leadership roles, expand my network, and build lasting friendships. Most importantly, it gave me a sense of belonging that continues to make IU feel like home.

 

With members and alumni hailing from countries across the globe, diversity is embedded in the Kappa Eta Phi brotherhood. I have formed meaningful connections with people whom I otherwise would have never met and had the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others, while sharing my own. 

 

Being a part of a Professional Fraternity is an experience I wouldn't change! I encourage you to explore all that Indiana University’s professional organizations have to offer and come check out Kappa Eta Phi, too!

 

Sincerely,

   Luke Pettyes 

    President
