Pi Kappa Alpha Rush

Thanks for taking the time to visit our Pike Rush page. This will help you to become acquainted with our ideals and help you learn a little more about our fraternity and the process of Rush. During the hectic time known as Rush, you will meet many people. We want you to feel comfortable, therefore, we have several informal rush events which you are welcome to attend.

Being familiar with the ideals upon which the Pi Kappa Alpha, Beta Tau chapter was founded will make this process easier. We strive to remain "S.L.A.G.," or Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen.

We consistently have a G.P.A. of over 3.0.

Leaders

We have Pikes in many prominent positions on campus.

Athletes

We are active in many IM sports and
we were first overall, in A and B fraternity leagues, in 1997-8.

We hope you decide to Rush and we invite you to come out and meet us!
