The KYX Experience
Pledgeship
The pledge semester of membership in Kappa Upsilon Chi is by far the most demanding. The semester teaches each young man numerous core values - leadership, accountability, loyalty, academics, faith and responsibility, to name a few. Pledges are expected to meet numerous requirements - all of which are designed to enhance the individual and help them grow and mature into the adult man that God desires them to be. Pledges are also expected to attend pledge-specific events in addition to the regular chapter events that are designed to build a team environment and pledge class camaraderie. Such events include pledge-specific functions during retreats, additional pledge meetings, and personal and spiritual growth sessions through a one-on-one mentorship program.
Commitment
KYX, while time demanding, will not consume your schedule. However, being a part of KYX will mandate that you learn and use good time management skills. As a pledge, time and commitment requirements are very strict. If you cannot commit to seeing your Pledgeship through, you need to personally evaluate how much being a Christian Leader means to you. Like all good leaders, you will find a way to make it work if this is truly your desire.
