Scholars

Students enroll in college to get a quality education. The Fraternity places a strong emphasis on scholarship and on educating our members both inside and outside of the classroom. Through minimum GPA standards, mentor programs, educational programming, and PIKE University events, members are equipped to excel academically.

Pi Kappa Alpha holds their members to a higher standard of academic success and believes that together as a brotherhood we can encourage members to take initiative in being the best student they can be.

The best way to predict your future is to create it.Stephen R. Covey (Utah, Alpha Tau '50), Author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

Leaders

Chapters are organized similar to a corporation, led by an executive team of undergraduates. The executive team oversees various committee chairs in the areas of finance, operations, recruitment, and continuing education to name a few. There are numerous opportunities to hone your leadership and management skills.

By being a part of one of the largest fraternal organizations in North America, our members enjoy the opportunity to not only gain elite leadership experience while in college, but to network with our highly successful alumni in their post-graduate careers.

PIKE U is North America’s premier fraternal leadership training conference series with over 10 regional and international events every year. With curriculum rivaling the caliber of any corporate training program, Pike U develops principled leadership, management, and personal development in a way that prepares our members for success in life.

Athletes

PIKE believes athletic competition encourages young men to challenge each other and to perform at their highest levels. We seek men who push themselves to be great at everything they do.

We believe that through athletic competition, we build teamwork skills fundamental to success in the business world, bolster unity within the chapter, contribute to the physical and mental health of our members, and improve the quality of the overall college experience. Competition breeds excellence—in the classroom, on the playing fields, and in our daily lives.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.Steve Prefontaine (Oregon, Gamma Pi ’70), Track and Field Hall of Fame

Gentlemen

PIKE is dedicated to developing men of integrity, intellect, and high moral character. We seek men that respect themselves, their peers, and their communities, as stated in our True Pike values.

Members are encouraged to participate in community service and philanthropy opportunities presented by our chapters. PIKE believes that a commitment to service is a crucial part of personal development.

Pikes also learn social skills and etiquette through membership development programs, as well as mixers and formals.

Character is definitely the most important attribute that a young man possesses.Bobby Bowden (Samford, Alpha Pi ’49), College Football Coaching Legend, former PIKE chapter president
