Individuals are initiated into the Fraternity by a collegiate or alumni chapter. The fraternity extends an open invitation to those colleges and universities with preparation programs for physical education, health, recreation, dance, human performance, exercise science, sports medicine, and sports management. Existing collegiate and alumni chapters invite individuals to become members. Petitions are available for new collegiate and alumni chapters through the headquarters. Attendance to all Phi Epsilon Kappa meetings is required for all members. Unless you have a valid reason to be excused and have notified the Sergeant-at-Arms, or are considered a coactive member for the semester or year. Three unexcused absences and you are dismissed from the chapter.

Any student majoring or minoring in Health, P.E., Dance, Sports Medicine, Sports Studies, or Recreation shall meet the following requirements:
