“The Knights strive to make every single person who joins a better Catholic, a better student, a better friend, and a better man. When you join the Knights you are not simply joining another group, you are affirming your commitment to become the best version of yourself, your commitment to become a true Catholic gentleman, and your commitment to surround yourself with the types of role models and friends who will help make that possible.”

“The longer I'm a Knight the more I realize what a special organization this is. There's a real family element involved and it's rooted in fostering the Body of Christ. This role has helped my faith grow tremendously and has shown me the many ways in which we, as a spirit-filled collective of young men, can build the Church and bring light to campus.”

“There are few more significant programs in which you can be a member and lead as a college student. The impact college Knights can make on campuses mentoring and influencing other students and within their councils is larger than that of perhaps any other collegiate program. College Knights embody the values of chivalry often absent from our campuses and communities, executing amazing charity projects and programs of brotherhood together. In my professional life I reflect often on the lessons of stewardship I learned in these service and fraternal activities.”
