Come stop by at PKT to absorb the sunshine and admire the skyline. Meet the brothers, learn more about our community, get a chance to tour the house, and enjoy some patented PKT burgers and glizzies! Call 321-PKT-LINE for a ride!

Everyone thinks they're good at spikeball, but do YOU have what it takes? Try your hand(s) at spiking some balls in PKT's official Spikeball Standoff™ for a chance to win your very own Spikeball set!
Directions · 70 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 Call for a ride

Enjoy a full gourmet dinner with the brothers of PKT. Is Gordon Ramsay trapped in our basement cooking ceviche bites, and maybe even sous vide pork Wellingtons? We can’t say. Call 321-PKT-LINE for your escort!
-
There's Redbull. There's raging. Need I say more? Call 321-PKT-LINE for a ride to the owners of Friday nights (and this Saturday I guess).

Join the Brothers of PKT as we ball in the paint or paint some balls or whatever "Paintball" means.

Get ready to indulge in PKT's patented Glistening Glizzies™. It's not a hot dog it's a hawt dawg. Some call it the Michael Jordan of BBQ. The Bussin' Burger™ (Scottie Pippen of BBQ) will also feature. Call 321-PKT-LINE for a ride!
-
Cup pong is a simple game, but a precise throw of a ping-pong ball is much tougher than a random finger flick in Game Pigeon. Try to beat some brothers and win an ice cold Fairlife. Call 321-PKT-LINE for a ride!

PKT's very own brothers will be sizzlin' some sirloins fit for royalty right before our annual Poker Tournament! Call 321-PKT-LINE for a ride!

Broccoli Forest Green.clrSome years agoColor palette229 › Third Floor › Sunrise
The Sunrise was painted Broccoli Forest Green by the house vegetarians, who wanted the last word. Later brothers repainted it after their favorite drink. The color is kept here in case anyone ever wants it back. Nobody has.

Rush
Survival Guide
Phi Kappa Theta
Choosing a living group is one of the most important decisions of your MIT career, and we want to do our best to clear up any confusion you might have about the process. What follows shows some of the things you should be thinking about during rush and your freshman year. We hope that this advice provides some important pointers on how rush works and what our house is like.
Rush Is…
A period during which fraternities and other living groups at MIT hold various events, from Lobster Dinners to Paintball outings, to meet and recruit prospective members. Rush is intended to help freshmen find the living and social group they feel most comfortable with.
Some Advice
Be open to meet people of all shapes and sizes, or else you’ll quickly close yourself off from many exciting groups. Be yourself! Every house wants to know the real you. Ask lots of questions (see below). Spend lots of time at the house and get to know the brothers as well as possible in the time that you have. During rush, try not to visit too many houses, or you may never get to know any one particlar house very well. You need to spend time getting to know the brothers at a house well, and they need to get to know you well enough to give you a bid. Don’t be upset if you get referred to another house, as it just means there’s a better match for you somewhere else. Houses do not want to waste your time. If you aren’t going to get a bid, you will probably be told so and shown to another house where you will fit in better.
Important Questions to Ask
Where is your house located? How many brothers live in the house? Is there hazing? What will the pledge program entail? How are the house responsibilities and chores distributed? How important is partying to the house? What were your reasons for joining this house?
