Pi Kappa Alpha is a general, international, Greek-letter, secret, social, non-hazing fraternity.
It was founded at Virginia Tech in 1873, and was Virginia Tech’s first social organization.
Since recolonizing in 2001, Pi Kappa Alpha has been the most dominant and successful
fraternity at Virginia Tech.
The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity was founded in 1868 by six gentlemen at the University of
Virginia. Today the fraternity’s membership has grown to initiate over 210,000 men and
has expanded to over 220 colleges and universities throughout North America.
Pi Kappa Alpha is dedicated to developing men of integrity, intellect, and high moral
character and to fostering a truly lifelong fraternal experience. To fulfill this mission, Pi
Kappa Alpha provides innovative services and programs designed to enrich the lives of
undergraduates, alumni, and communities. The fraternity values academic achievement
and integrity. It is through these standards of life that allow the men of Pi Kappa Alpha to
truly be scholars, leaders, athletes, and gentlemen.
Annually, Pi Kappa Alpha offers 11,000 brothers the opportunity for leadership development
via Pike University, a premier leadership school for fraternity men. Every year, Pike
University hosts eight events for undergraduate and alumni members:
Six Leadership Summits, located in major U.S. cities
Chapter Presidents Conference and Rush Summit
Officers Leadership Academy (odd-numbered years) and International Convention
(even-numbered years)
Pi Kappa Alpha is governed by an international convention primarily composed of undergraduate
delegates, and between conventions by a volunteer board known as the
Supreme Council.
Over 112 chapter scholarships are offered by the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity Educational
Foundation. Pike University grants are given to each chapter.
