Psi Kappa Kappa Chapter established its mentorship program, “The Gold
Standard” on 12 November, 2019. The Gold Standard incorporates the 4 tenets
called out by IHQ, and will address the 4 tenets by emphasizing 5 qualities for
each mentee to embrace & live by:
- Integrity  being honest in everything you say & do
- Nobility  having high moral standards & good character
- Gallant  possessing courage & bravery, along with courtesy & respect for
women
- Original  be yourself, without being dependent on other peoples’ ideas
- Talent  recognizing & growing your God-given gift to serve others
