Epsilon Phi took on Detroit Spring professional trip on March 31st!

Marketing, Human Resource Management, and Hospitality Business had the pleasure to visit Marketing Associates and Detroit Athletic Club.

Supply Chain Management went to DTE Energy headquarters and then pictured above we have a group of Supply Chain Management Majors at Accenture learning about global management consulting.

The bottom picture has some of us enjoying lunch after at the Punch Bowl Social after the company visits!

It was a great time so here is a big thank you to all the companies, our leaders, and PCT members that made this possible.

Mid-Febuary a total of 80 of our active members and pledges went on ski trip up at Shanty Creek in Bellaire, Michigan.

They rented a few cabins and got to relax in 50 degree weather and hang out at the pool!

It was a great weekend for bonding!

“Week of Love” was a success!

All our members participated in serving coffee, selling roses and baked goods, and sticking encouraging words in the Business College Complex to help raise funds for Kolette’s Wish!

Here’s our organizer of the event and Service Chair, Ashley Wardlow, selling roses on Valentines Day.

Thank you to all that participated and contributed, Kolette will appreciate it!

Joe Soave (Marketing ‘20) got the to opportunity to participate in the 2017 New York Retail Connect this past winter break that was put on by MSU Lear Corporation Career Services Center.

The trip was a 6-day experience of traveling, learning, and networking designed for MSU students interested in a career in retail, fashion, and luxury brand industries. Some of the companies he visited included: Hugo Boss, Macy's Inc., Yummie by Heather Thomson, Ermenegildo Zegna, Brooks Brothers, Michael Kors, NEST Fragrances, Laura Geller Beauty, Marc Jacobs, and John Varvatos.

We asked some questions to get a closer look on Joe’s experience in the Big Apple!

Q: What was your favorite company that you met with there and why?

A: My favorite company was Brooks Brothers. We had the opportunity to visit the factory where they make their ties, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for their company and its products. The fact that almost every part of the process is done by hand shocked me, and it was incredible to see it up close.

Q: How did this trip change/enlighten your perspective in regards to the retail industry?

A: This trip completely changed my perspective. Seeing all the work that goes into even the smallest things changed how I viewed the industry. I loved being able to see what happens behind the scenes and how companies work in the industry.

Q: How was the food?

A:The most delicious thing I got to eat was pizza from a place called Nino’s 46. It’s an extremely small Italian restaurant close to Times Square, and the pizza was absolutely insane. I’m definitely going back the next time I’m in New York.

Q: The best part of the trip?

A: Personally, the best part of the trip was exploring the city. Since it was my first time in NYC, and I was lucky enough to be given a large chunk of free time, I took full advantage of it. The Empire State Building was unbelievable and experiencing the 9/11 memorial was something I can’t describe in words. Definitely one of the things I’ll never forget about the trip.

Thanks for sharing with us, Joe!

Phi Chi Theta took on a professional event on January 3rd! The group got to network with leaders from the sports industry. We got to see a presentation and had executive Q&A and then headed down court-side to watch the Pistons warm up and cheer on our favorite basketball team (besides MSU’s own, of course).

A big thank you to our Professional Chairs, Jon and Parker, for organizing such an amazing event!

This past Sunday, Phi Chi Theta celebrated all the relationships in our organization with a Friendsgiving! Each member brought their own dish to contribute to the potluck brunch and played games together such as pool and charades before we headed off home to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families!

Phi Chi hosted their 2nd annual Biz Bowl charity flag football tournament! The tournament rounded out our first ever, Week of Kindness, to raise funds for the Jenna Kast Believe in Miracles Foundation based out of Troy, MI. This year, PCT is working with the Jenna Kast Believe in Miracles Foundation to sponsor a wish for Kolette, a local seven year old girl with spinal muscular atrophy, to help send her and her family on a trip this April. Thank you to all the student organizations that came out and participated and to all the local businesses that donated to help make Biz Bowl 2.0 such a success!

Right after the Cubs won the World Series, Phi Chi Theta visited Chicago for our annual Professional Trip! Split up by major, the members visited companies of their interest in the morning and spent the evening at Gino’s East having dinner with PCT alumni. The trip was topped off by a service event at Kevlyn Park High School planting trees and re-painting the school!

This past week, our chapter was fortunate enough to have Phi Chi Theta’s founding mother come speak to us at Michigan State. We learned about her 23 years of experiences in Supply Chain Management in the humanitarian public sector and private sector manufacturing and were able to ask her questions about all the exciting places she’s visited all over the world!

The Rock is the oldest out of all the iconic monuments at Michigan State with a colorful tradition of being hand-painted by students. Phi Chi Theta members took shifts to guard the rock throughout the day and painted our letters at night to encourage publicity and gain interest in our organization!
