Message from the President

      Welcome to the Psi Chapter of Kappa Theta Pi, Oklahoma’s first professional technology fraternity. On behalf of our chapter, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our fraternity’s website, where you can learn about our latest events, listen to our podcast, and get an idea of how we pursue our love for technology.
       As the nation’s first technology fraternity, Kappa Theta Pi provides our brothers the support and resources to be extraordinary during their time at Cameron University. Our brotherhood is centered around five pillars: Professional development, Alumni connections, Social growth, Technological advancement, and Academic support. From application development and coding to study groups and professional development workshops; we celebrate and promote a culture and environment of growth where brothers are supported and encouraged to pursue opportunities related to their passions for technology. Whether you know it well enough to teach it, or have always wanted to learn about it, we have a place for you.
       Our chapter thrives on its diversity and would not be the same without every member contributing their unique experiences and perspectives. In addition to their dedication to KTP, our brothers are also student leaders for other organizations on campus, interns at a plethora of companies, research assistants, and instructional aides for their classes. We do not discriminate by school, major, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, or background; rather, we celebrate our brotherhood’s diversity and ultimately all come together united by our passion for technology.
     As I look back on my time at Cameron, being involved in the creation of KTP has been the most challenging and rewarding part of my college experience. What began as a thought, became a conversation, then a realization of our fraternity. As a collective, Kappa Theta Pi fosters a culture of excellence as professionals, brothers, and friends. In a short time, I have seen first-hand the incredible things we can do when we put our minds and hearts into it. More importantly, I have been introduced to lifelong friends and connections who serve as a constant source of inspiration and always challenge and support me to be my full and best self.
     It is my honor and privilege to serve as KTP’s president this year and I sincerely appreciate your interest in our fraternity. On this website, you will find information about rush events and our brotherhood. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our E-Board on the contact page if you have any questions!

Yours in service,

Lance Wallace

President, 2024
