T
he fall of 2014 is looking to be an exciting
time for the Beta Phi Chapter of Pi Kappa
Alpha. Coming off a summer of changes,
including our huge renovation that every brother
in the house has been looking forward to since
the day we accepted our bid. Every brother who
came back into the Chapter House was in awe
as he walked in the front door. We could not
believe that the house we left only a few months
ago has transformed into this modern fraternity
house. We are now finishing up the final touches
and putting everything back in its place.
We have accepted 20 bids thus far in recruitment
and are looking for a class of around 40,
hopefully initiating 35 of those qualified men.
Every single gentleman we have bidded has
every quality of a Pike and we look forward to
initiating him later this fall. We are reaching
out to more freshmen than ever this semester
by introducing a new scholarship for incoming
students. We are also working on a few new
tactics on getting freshmen into our house for
recruitment this semester and next.
We have started out football season and tailgates
are underway! We are paired with the lovely
ladies of Alpha Gamma Delta for football this
season and we are very excited to be sharing
this season with them. We are also gearing up
for our biggest philanthropy of the year, Pikes
Firefighters Challenge. This will be our fourth
year and we hope to top our past goals for
dollars raised. There will be much more to come
on this event as we get closer.
If you ever want to relive your memories at 629
University, please stop by and meet the brothers.
We are always happy to see alumni come to the
house and hear stories. It's a great day to be a Pike!
