Pi Kappa Alpha - Lambda Alpha

Six exemplary gentlemen started Pi Kappa Alpha in 1868. Today we continue in their tradition by only recruiting the best men. Pi Kappa Alpha prides itself on the fact that we are composed solely of gentlemen.

We recruit members who are respectful to themselves and others. Once they are members, these men are given the opportunity to improve and practice proper social skills and behavior through membership development programming and Fraternity social events.

Producing quality gentlemen is the most important aspect of our Fraternity.

The True Pike

As members of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, we pledge ourselves to uphold the values taught in our Ritual and restated in our Vision, Mission, and Creed. The True Pike is committed to a life of caring for others as he cares for himself. In pursuit of that ideal, I reaffirm my pledge...

To Myself

to practice academic integrity and strive for academic achievement
to meet all of my financial obligations on time
to preserve a sound mind and body, rejecting abuse of alcohol or drugs
to pursue my career goals zealously, but with integrity
to promote brotherly love and kind feeling, nurturing my friendships
to dedicate myself to my family, my faith, and pursuit of the truth.

To My Brothers

to challenge all brothers to uphold this code and hold accountable those who do not
to respect the dignity of all; not to tolerate physical or mental abuse of any human being
to seek and fulfill leadership roles and participate energetically in Fraternity activities
to encourage my chapter to establish and enforce rigorous academic standards
to urge my chapter not to tolerate abuse of alcohol or drugs
to actively recruit new members who I believe will uphold the Fraternity's values
to participate enthusiastically in an education program to inculcate our values
to ensure that my conduct at all events and activities reflects Pi Kappa Alpha in a positive light
to reach out to brothers beyond my own chapter; and welcome those who reach out to me
to participate actively in Fraternity sponsored educational and leadership conferences
to volunteer my time as an alumnus to an area chapter or alumni association or to the Fraternity
to provide financial support for the Pi Kappa Alpha Educational Foundation
to respect the Fraternity’s property and symbols
to leave the Fraternity and my chapter better than they were when I arrived

To My Community

to protect the health and safety of others
to participate in campus activities, and stay involved with my alma mater beyond my graduation
to foster good relationships with the University faculty and administration
to serve my community through participation in civic organizations and events

Only by so doing, can I fulfill my commitment to Pi Kappa Alpha and be worthy to count myself a True Pike.
