A.J. Kettering
President
Junior, Chemical Engineering
Hello, I’m AJ, and I’m studying chemical engineering. I am from Bloomington, IL. In my free time I like to play the bass trombone. I decided to come to Missouri S&T because of the schools reputation for having a strong engineering program, with many state of the art facilities and resources for engineering students. I became interested in Pi Kappa Phi because a friend’s grandfather is one of the founding members of this chapter. I chose to join because I feel that the smaller than average membership count of the chapter helps make it feel more like a family to me.
Andrew Hachinsky
Warden & Chaplain
Senior, Information Science and Technology
Hi I’m Andrew, the Warden and Chaplain here at Pi Kapps. I am a senior IST major and am dual minoring in business and cybersecurity management. I chose to go to school here at Missouri S&T because I think it is the best in-state school for IT and computer science. I first joined Pi Kapps because it was cheap and I wanted to get out of dorms. I’ve stayed because of the brotherhood and support this fraternity provides. The brothers here support and help one another to reach their full potential, both academically, and in everyday life. I think I have really grown as a person since joining Pi Kapps.
Adam Smitley
Risk Management
Senior, Chemistry
I’m Adam, a lover of chemistry and the outdoors. I’m going to college to hopefully get a job in water and soil testing and treatment. I enjoy puzzles, hunting, my dog, cooking, video games, and pets. I’ve been a brother of Pi Kappa Phi since 2023 and have held the position of risk manager since the Spring, 2024.
Brandon Rhodes
Treasurer
Sophomore, Mechanical Engineering
Hi, I’m Brandon Rhodes. I’m from Imperial, MO and I’m studying mechanical engineering. I decided to attend Missouri S&T because of the large research presence on campus and the hands on learning experience provided to students. I joined Pi Kappa Phi because of the small, close knit, and fun brotherhood here. Some hobbies I have are gaming, reading fantasy and sci fi novels, and going to concerts.
