Kennington, Tom

Class of 1990

I’ve been fortunate to be close to the House working in Real Estate Investment and Development in State College since 1999. The fortune is staying involved with Penn State, the fraternity and making friends with the Chi Phi(s) of the new millennium. There have been challenges teaching them the way of the yester-years but they pale in comparison to the benefits, mostly watching the brothers enter college nervous and somewhat clueless to life outside the comfort of their parent’s home and then morphing into independent young men committed to the betterment of themselves and Chi Phi. The fraternity continues to provide opportunities for them as it did for us; however I have seen it more challenging for them as they are managing an aging infrastructure. That said I have seen some real dedication from most of these young men and I am looking forward to seeing many alumni gathering with the new actives for Blue White Weekend Reception at the Kingdom, April 21st!
