Fill in the equation that represents Phi Kappa Tau: ______ x ______ = Phi Kappa Tau.

• A. Knowledge; action
• B. Values; actions
• C. Faith; deeds
• D. Tradition; practice

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that Phi Kappa Tau is defined by turning beliefs into behavior—values guiding actions. The equation shows that when you take the fraternity’s standards (values) and live them out through consistent conduct (actions), you express Phi Kappa Tau in real, everyday life. Values provide the moral compass that sets what is right, and actions are the concrete demonstrations of that compass; together they create the living identity of the organization. If you rely on knowledge alone, you may understand what’s right without acting on it; faith emphasizes belief but doesn’t automatically translate into outward behavior; tradition and practice focus on history or habit, but they don’t foreground the guiding norms that shape how members act. Values and actions best capture how the fraternity’s character is formed and shown.
