If your loved ones are on the nice list this year, consider gifting them a product or service offered by a Phi Kap.
We've curated this list of brands on two conditions: it must be Phi Kap owned or operated and purchases can easily be made online.
College Hill Custom Threads
Tony Poston (Washington State, ‘07)

Despite their rapid growth, the custom apparel and promotional products company has remained committed to supporting clients' philanthropic causes, having donated more than $200,000 to deeply inspiring causes across the nation.

Leo Carillo (San Diego State, ‘16) and Alex Padua (San Diego State, ‘14)
As a barber in college, Leo saw a need for high-quality hair products at a fair price.

Kamiak Coffee Company
Kyle O’Malley (Washington State, ‘17) and Grant Schoenlein (Washington State, ‘16)
Kyle and Grant started their obsession with coffee in the early days of college. They asked themselves, “If we could do anything in life, what would we love to do?" The answer was simple: coffee. Why? They both had years of experience in the industry but were often disappointed in the coffee they found in the market. Today, they offer the world's finest coffee for wholesale partners and home consumers alike.

Kaps for Kids
Nathan Rues (Missouri S&T, ‘02)
In 2007, Nathan unveiled his first bottle cap artwork, a rendition of Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night painting.

Today, Nathan continues constructing his whimsical mosaics with a mission to fund important children’s causes nationwide. Nathan served on the Fraternity Board for 12 years and was National President from 20011 to 2013.
