From 2006-2008, Kyle was webmaster of the Phi Sigma Pi Nation Interchapter Website (which maintained no official affiliation with the National Fraternity.) Kyle is currently the Vice President of Philanthropy Development.

Early Fraternity Life and Career

Kyle Williams enrolled at the University of West Georgia in the Fall of 2004, after receiving his Associates in Business Administration at Andrew College. As a Junior, he was looking to become more involved on the West Georgia Campus when he saw a flyer advertising a Phi Sigma Pi Rush Event. After attending an information night for the Gamma Delta Chapter, Kyle would rush in the Spring of 2005. After completing the Initiation Program, Kyle Inducted in April of 2005 as a member of the Omicron Class of the Gamma Delta Chapter.

Collegiate Years at the Gamma Delta Chapter

Upon induction, Kyle was almost immediately elected as Alumni Chair and took upon the role as webmaster of the Gamma Delta Chapter Website. One of his first roles was to overhaul the Chapter website, adding a Chapter Photo Album to catalog the many Chapter events being held during the year.

Another key accomplishment was the establishment of the Gamma Delta Alumni Picnic which was held in April of 2005. After a period of evaluation of the state of alumni relations within the chapter, a plan was implemented to hold an event which would allow a large number to come back to the University and get to know the current brother hood. As a result, thanks to the efforts of the brothers, over 17 alumni came back to the Gamma Delta Chapter, including Jamie Easoz Painter, one of the chapter's founding members. The event marked one of the highest number of alumni participation in the chapter's history.

Upon his final semester, Kyle would retain his position as webmaster, but was also elected as Regional Committee Delegate. With a plan to invigorate interchapter relations, he would go on to work with the neighboring Beta Zeta Chapter as well as the then colony at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

As a brother, Kyle went on a number of road trips to other chapters. Destinations included Beta Zeta, Epsilon Theta (then a colony,) Tau, and Beta Psi.
