Hello and War Eagle! We are very excited about re-engaging our alumni and this issue of the Alota is our first step in the program. The Alota will help us reconnect with almost 2,000 AI brothers from across the country. The goal of our Alumni Program is to rebuild the relationship between the active and alumni brothers. We realize many of you have not enjoyed the best experience when visiting the chapter over the past few years but we hope you will give us
the opportunity to win you back! Our goal for this chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is to become what it always should have been, the best fraternity at Auburn University. We cannot do this without your support. I also believe that support is not only about donations. Of more importance is coming by to tailgate with us, participating in Push America events, and attending initiation. Just spending time getting to know all the new brothers. We also want you to know that this
newsletter is for the alumni and we need your input for it to be successful. Along with communicating with the chapter, we want this to be an outlet for communication with other brothers from your time at Auburn. We want you to be able to announce events of your own to all the brothers at one time, thereby increasing the amount of time we can all spend together. Mark Krystyn
Push America Update Push America involvement is being completely revamped along with the rest of the new Alpha Iota chapter. Over the past two years, we have participated in many fundraising events for Push America. Events included Give-a-Push weekends, wheelchair-ramp building, and Push Camps all across the Some brothers of Alpha Iota after building a state of Alabama. Brothers wheelchair ramp for a disabled family in participate through IMPACT, Shorter, AL. which is a volunteer organization through Auburn University that sponsors local elementary school visits, humane society visits, food banks, and retirement homes. The spring fundraiser for Push was “Pie a Pi Kapp” where
ΠΚΦ
brothers raised money by getting “pied” in the face. Also, brother Nelson Davis will be participating in Gear Up Florida, a bicycle ride in Florida raising awareness for Push America. Please contact me about future Push events if you are interested in getting involved.
