Phi Kappa Tau holds numerous philanthropy events each year and participates in the events of many other greek organizations. Every year Phi Kappa Tau holds the Special Olympics. Special olympians get a chance to flex their muscles and test their athletic skills while having fun with the Phi Tau's. Phi Tau also holds an event known as Sleigh Bell Days which affords under-privileged children an opportunity to enjoy the Christmas experience. The children get the opportunity to meet and recieve presents from Santa and participate in other activities including decorating cookies and creating Christmas cards.
