The Alpha Phi Chapter is in the midst of being recolonized. It's an exciting time as we prepare for the successful return of our beloved Chapter. Already the next generation of Alpha Phi men is being groomed. They are in the process of creating their own website: www.iowastatepikes.com. Here's an update on the establishment of the Provisional Chapter here at Iowa State University from Colton Steele, Chapter Consultant, Pi Kappa Alpha National. I have been here on-site recruiting men to restart the chapter for the last several months. We have appointed and trained the chapter leadership to ensure the chapter is prepared to operate on its own. We've recruited multiple club athletes, scholarship winners, and student leaders. We have men from many different areas ranging from all over the state of Iowa and the Midwest as well as from three other countries. The men come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences which I believe will contribute to the overall strength of the chapter. The men that we recruited truly exemplify the ideals of PIKE and are all extremely motivated around the idea of building a chapter from the ground up. These men joined with a vision of building a fraternity that is different than anything else on Iowa State's campus. In the Bonds, Colton M. Steele I was born and raised in Ankeny, Iowa. I am a Computer Science major and I have created my own app called SeasonCast, a live streaming app that is used by 5,000+ high schools/youth teams in the United States. The app is rated a 4.7 star on the App Store with 2,000+ reviews. This app also won me a $5,000 contest award last semester from Iowa State University for 1st place in best existing business. My goal as chapter president is to apply what I have learned from the corporate world and running my own startup to this chapter. This means to me that members are the "right men". Men that are loyal & believe in the Pi Kappa Alpha values. Men that are held to a higher standard. Men that are in the Alpha Phi family. My goal is that if we create high expectations from leadership positions that push them to excel then it will result in a successful chapter on all fronts. Lastly, is that we are financially sustainable. I want to create an environment where every member understands the importance of financial obligations towards our goals as a chapter. The Alpha Phi chapter is going to continue to be an accountable, sustainable, and successful chapter at Iowa State. PIKES. THE NEXT GENERATION.
