The Zeta-Theta Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha means a family of brothers to Rodney. He believes the habits he developed have been carried throughout his personal and business life. Habits are defined as “a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up.” Habits gained from the involvement of Pi Kappa Alpha- Zeta Theta helped Rodney build character, integrity and honesty. His brothers showed how to live up to commitments/promises, and helped him build long-lasting relationships and friendships. “All of these habits enhanced my professional life, family, marriage, and faith in god. These habits are the kind of habits that are hard to give up. Pi Kappa Alpha and Zeta-Theta helped me to become a better me!”
