The History of the Rocky Mountain Alumni Association

In the Centennial History of Phi Kappa Psi Volume II, it was listed as an Alumni Association with William Newcomb, Denver, CO listed as contact person. It was established prior to 1940, however an exact date has yet to be found. The Association was ended but rechartered as the Rocky Mountain Alumni Club by the 1940 Executive Council because of diminished membership. Another listing in the “Shield” magazine fall of 1962 listed Wendell Peterson as contact for the RMAA. Between these dates it is unknown when the Club was reestablished as an Association.

Published in the “Shield” Summer 2016 was a brief mention of Rocky Mountain Alumni Association. Attending was Brother Craig Baker, MI Beta’74 who represented RMAA who revived the organization.

“Expanding Our Reach"

The Rocky Mountain Alumni Association isn’t necessarily a new kid on the block, but they are looking for new ways to engage and re-engage the local alumni in the Denver and surrounding Metropolitan areas. There are currently 1,854 living local alumni within the Rocky Mountain Alumni Association radius. “ AA (The Shield, Summer 2016).

Since that time, a suite at a Colorado Rockies game was a pre-COVID alumni event was hosted by RMAA and Friar Corporation. Also hosted was a VIP tour at Coors Brewery in Golden, CO.

Phi Kappa Psi Mission

The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity engages men of integrity, further develops their intellect and enhances community involvement. With a legacy built on acceptance and trust, each brother realizes his highest potential through a lifelong experience of service and excellence.

Phi Kappa Psi Creed

I believe that Phi Kappa Psi is a brotherhood of honorable men, courteous and cultured, who pledge throughout their lives to be generous, compassionate, and loyal comrades;

I believe that I am honor bound to strive manfully for intellectual, moral, and spiritual excellence; to help and forgive my Brothers; to discharge promptly all just debts; to give aid and sympathy to all who are less fortunate;

I believe that I am honor bound to strengthen my character and deepen my integrity; to council and guide my Brothers who stray from their obligations; to respect and emulate my Brothers who practice moderation in their manners and morals; to be ever mindful that loyalty to my Fraternity should not weaken loyalty to my college, but rather increase devotion to it, to my country, and to my God.

I believe that to all I meet, wherever I go, I represent not only Phi Kappa Psi, but indeed the spirit of all fraternities; thus, I must ever conduct myself so as to bring respect and honor not to myself alone, but also to my Fraternity;

To the fulfillment of these beliefs, of these ideals, in the noble perfection of Phi Kappa Psi, I pledge my life and my sacred honor.
