Pi Kappa Alpha - Iowa State University

2 | PI KAPPA ALPHA Provisional Chapter Elects Jonah Hillman President BEN'S ARTICLE ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM TO REWARD MEMBERS FOR ACHEDEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GOES HERE H ello all! My name is Jonah Hillmann, and I just recently began my term as Pi Kappa Alpha's newest president. First off, I will just say how excited I am to begin this journey. I can tell you that we will not be skipping a beat in terms of growing this fraternity and impacting the Iowa State campus in a positive way. All of the men in PIKE are very excited for what this year holds as we continue along our journey to charter. We are gaining new members every week and continuing our outreach to the rest of the greek community. We have quite a few things going on in the next month. The PIKE University Event in Kansas City will be happening November 4-5, 10 of our men will be attending that and learning a lot from it. On October 15th we will be going paint- balling as a fraternity at Seven Oaks in Boone which should be a lot of fun. We have a social planned with the women of Alpha Chi Omega the first week of November, as well as a philanthropic event in the works with the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon. I believe that positive relations with well-established and respected fraternities and sororities will play a large role in the growth and prominence of this chapter. My goal for this term is to truly make this the best fraternity it can possibly be. I want to enable our men to succeed not just in the classroom, but socially as well. I can say with full certainty that the men of PIKE have a common vision. We are not here to chase mediocrity. There is an understanding in the chapter that rechartering a fraternity is no easy task, and hours of time, energy, and pure resiliency is the only path to success. Under my leadership, we will embrace the grind and have lots of fun while Hillman to fill Max Smith's big shoes. doing it. I am extraordinarily excited to see what is in store for PIKE in the future and to keep moving forward. - Jonah H The class of '58 has put this reunion together since 1989!
