A MESSAGE FROM OUR prESIDENT

Pi Kappa Phi is built on brotherhood, leadership, and personal growth. Our chapter pushes people to push beyond their comfort zones. Whether that is through leadership, philanthropy, or creating unforgettable experiences together. We believe in building men that are driven, accountable, and becoming the best versions of themselves. Through our shared friendships and experiences, and a culture that values ambition and loyalty, Pi Kappa Phi creates long lasting connections and experiences that extend beyond just college.

Joining Pi Kappa Phi has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I joined because I wanted to feel like I was a part of something that was more than just me. Through my experience, I have met men that have motivated me to grow as a leader and person. Through our brotherhood I have created life long friendships, some of whom will come to my wedding, and opportunities to make a real difference in our chapter and community. If you are skeptical about rushing in general, do it. I have gotten more out of this experience than I would have ever expected. Pi Kappa Phi has shaped my experience as a man, strengthened my values, and have created memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
