Athletes- Pikes strive to recruit the best athletes on campus on both the Varsity level and through Intramural and club competition. Pikes not only participate; we win! Participating in intramurals is a great release and can be the source of great memories; there's no question that winning championships makes those memories even better. We are so dedicated to competition that we appoint a chairman to handle the intramural scheduling throughout the year. Several teams will be fielded in each sport so every PiKA will have the opportunity to dominate the competition.   

Whether you are a player, or working on the sidelines, the athletic program builds teamwork skills fundamental to success in life. This teamwork and the winning spirit add to the overall brotherhood of Pi Kappa Alpha.

Added Benefits of becoming a Pike

     Theme parties, socials, road trips, brotherhood events, Pikes on Bikes, philanthropies, community service, tailgating, camping events, national conventions, house parties, family nights, or just hanging with the brothers playing poker, Pi Kappa Alpha does it all.

    Networking Pi Kappa Alpha has achieved its success by attracting the highest quality individuals. The men who represent PiKA have made the decision to make the most of their college careers. From the youngest person ever to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor to countless CEOs and United States Congressmen, Pi Kappa Alpha members have set themselves apart. With alumni support like this behind any brother, future brothers are sure to succeed in all that they do.

    Brotherhood- The most recognized word associated with fraternities is brotherhood. Brotherhood is the feeling you get when you win the intramural championship, when your fraternity brother is elected student body president, when alumni come back for homecoming and they share old stories with undergraduates, and when you hold the best social functions. It's the feeling you get when you know you are surrounded by men who represent the best the university has to offer. Brotherhood makes undergraduate years fun, and produces friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

    Recognition- The challenge is to hold yourself to a higher standard, to stand out and make the most of the opportunities the college experience presents. Competition, pride and superior organization is what drives the members of Pi Kappa Alpha to hold themselves to a higher standard - Often, the results are historic. College is what you make of it; this competitive edge drives Pi Kappa Alpha to lead the fraternity world, and individuals to accomplish great things.
