About PAK
About Phi Alpha Kappa
Since 1929, Phi Alpha Kappa has given Michigan students a place to live out their Christian faith together—and a brotherhood that keeps going long after graduation.

PAK has never been only a place to sleep. It is worship and Bible study, dinner around the same tables, service, intramurals, responsibility for the house, and the ordinary conversations that turn into lifelong friendships. Brothers come from different Christian traditions and backgrounds, but they choose to build this life together.

Christian foundation
Mission and statement of faith
This is the Christian foundation we share—and the standard we keep working to live out together.
Phi Alpha Kappa is a non-sectarian community driven by our shared Christian faith. We believe that the Bible is the authoritative, inspired, and living Word of God. We affirm the Apostles’ Creed as a basis for biblical truth, pointing to God’s creation of the world and the deity, death, atonement, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Phi Alpha Kappa believes Christian brotherhood is both a gift and a calling from God, through which we are sanctified as individuals, partake in Christ’s body, and are empowered to transform Ann Arbor and beyond for his glory.
Nearly a century at Michigan
A century in the making.
Phi Alpha Kappa began in 1929 when a small group of Calvin College graduates at Michigan created a Christian fraternity and a shared home. Since 1944, that story has unfolded at the Dutch House—through generations of worship, meals, service, house projects, and friendships that still bring alumni back to 1010.
