A Message from Our President

Joining PCT was the best decision I made in college. Every brother has unique passions and goals – basketball, jet engines, indie music, social justice, private equity, you name it – that make our community so diverse.

You might be wondering then: what brings us together? Professionalism, service, and wellness.

I strongly believe that the best professional resources at Penn are the upperclassmen. Freshman spring, I didn’t have much of a connection with them, but business fraternities felt like a great way to have access – and PCT has exceeded my expectations. Through rush alone, I met brothers with a wide array of professional aspirations. Many of these brothers have remained actively involved with the fraternity post-graduation, routinely showing up at homecoming gatherings and also helping current brothers earn internships at over 50 companies in finance, consulting, tech, and beyond.

Although our founding mission revolves around creating the business leaders of the future, we don’t lose sight of service in the process. Each semester, we organize volunteer events so that brothers can give back to our surrounding community. Cradles to Crayons, The Innocence Project, Women Against Abuse all represent organizations that we’ve partnered with through service and fundraisers.

There’s no doubt that Penn culture can be overwhelming. The stress over recruiting, multi-step club applications, and simply making new friends are all thoughts that crossed our minds at some point. After having faced burnout my first semester, I knew that I needed to find a better balance – and Phi Chi’s Wellness pillar provided that. PCT’s commitment to both physical and mental wellness differentiates us from other pre-professional organizations. Tennis tournaments, nutrition workshops, painting, pottery, and study breaks during exam weeks represent just a few of the wellness initiatives we’ve held for our brothers.

PCT is more than just a fraternity — we’re a family. I’ve met some incredibly genuine and talented people through this organization, many of whom I’m proud to call lifelong friends. I hope the same for you too.

To anyone interested in rushing: we’re so excited to meet you, and we hope you choose our brotherhood. I encourage you to follow our socials and reach out to me or any of our brothers to learn more about us.

Warm regards, 

Cissy Wang
2025 President 

 

Get to Know Our Executive Board


Michelle Chen
Executive Vice President

PCT has become the anchor of my college experience, where so many of my best memories are made and shared with my fellow brothers. I initially joined the brotherhood because I felt like I lacked a sense of community at Penn. After meeting all the amazing people in PCT, I realized that the organization is so much more than just a big group of friends — we’ve organically grown so close to where I now think of PCT as my second family.

I love all of my brothers so much, and am so honored to be able to experience college alongside such genuine, bright, and inspiring individuals. Now as a Junior, I reflect upon the past couple of years, and the most important thing I’ve learned is how important it is to find a good group of people while navigating one of the biggest transitions in life. I’m so lucky to have PCT and this wonderful family that supports one another, is there for each other, and cheers every individual on in this journey.

I wanted to serve as the Executive Vice President because I’m passionate about expanding and growing our community further, and helping shape an organization for future brothers to make amazing memories like mine. Not only that, but I’m also hoping to advance our mission of being a brotherhood that promotes our pillars of professionalism, service, and wellness.

For anyone that is looking to find a place on campus to call home — don’t hesitate to reach out to me for a chat, or to say hi if you see me at rush or on Locust! I can’t wait to see what 2025 holds with PCT, and cheers to another great year with an even greater brotherhood!

 

Kelly Hu
Internal Vice President

Hi! My name is Kelly Hu, and I am a junior in Wharton studying Finance and Business Analytics. I am originally from near Dallas, Texas, and in my free time, I love reading, painting, trying new restaurants, and cooking.

I love PCT so much because I have met the people I love to talk to about every little thing in life, which is a breath of fresh air, especially at Penn. Whether it be a question about my homework, a picture of some food I just tried, or a random selfie, you can bet I'm sending it to another bro. My new favorite activity is just finding bros studying in Huntsman and turning an already unproductive study session into a cute social hour where I can get to know someone new, or make new plans with the brothers I already spend lots of time with!

As IVP, I am really excited to more brotherhood-wide events and trips where we can all spend more time together, as well as making sure our regular events can accommodate the entire brotherhood!

If you have any questions or just want to chat, please reach out!

 

Kampton Kam
Vice President of Finance

Hi, my name is Kampton, and I was born and raised in Singapore! I’m a sophomore majoring in Finance and Business Analytics at Wharton and on Penn’s Track and Field team, specializing in the High jump.

I enjoy going to cafes and hanging out with my friends whenever I am not busy with practice and competition. PCT is family, which was one of the reasons why I decided to stay here to campaign for the Olympics while at Penn and not take a gap semester to train and compete in Europe. PCT is where I’ve met some of the best people and my closest friends, and I’m excited to see our community grow!

I can’t wait to start planning our spring semester events as VP of finance with the rest of the board! Who knows what is on the itinerary? Paintball? Retreat? Top golf? St Patty’s Day?

Rushes! We are so eager to meet all of you and show you what PCT is all about, and we hope you are equally excited, too! Stay tuned for our open rush events in the spring, and see you soon!
