Pi Kappa Alpha was founded here on UT over 150 years ago and has grown to become one of the largest fraternities on campus. We are an ever-growing chapter that teaches young men to be the best they can possibly be. We teach ideals of brotherhood, leadership, and academic excellence to shape our members into the young men we strive for them to be.
We are active in campus events such as intramurals, homecoming, and philanthropy events. Not only are we active in them, but we win. We challenge every member to be active in our chapter and promote them to become leaders not only in our fraternity, but in other clubs, honors fraternities, or other campus jobs.
We pride ourselves on educating our new members to be knowledgeable men who know the history and traditions of our fraternity through our new member process. We foster the ideals of “S.L.A.G.” into this process and educate our new members to embody these ideals. This saying stands for Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. These four pillars show who a true Pike really is, and is something we strive to be every day. Whether it be in the classroom, on the sports field, or in the community, Pikes prove to be successful men who are dedicated to the ideals we hold ourselves to.
