Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it all cost?
Pi Kappa Alpha chapters charge membership dues in order to provide the most well rounded college experience possible for their members. Dues vary by chapter, however a recent study of the Fraternity’s chief competitors revealed that Pi Kappa Alpha ranks as the 2nd most affordable amongst the top ten fraternities in total four year cost per member. Payment plans are offered by most chapters and encouraged by Pi Kappa Alpha so that not all the money is required up front.
What are the values of the Fraternity?
The Fraternity’s values are expressed in the written words and symbols of the secret ritual. These ideals and members’ ability to maintain the visions of the Fraternity’s founders are the great moral legacy of Pi Kappa Alpha. The Fraternity recently developed a public declaration of the secret ritual in the form of the Vision, Mission and Creed. This declaration was then transformed into a relevant and tangible set of standards that every member strives to include in his daily actions called the True Pike.
What is Pike's policy on hazing?
Pi Kappa Alpha recognizes the danger hazing poses for individuals and the detrimental effect hazing inherently has on organizations. Undergraduate delegates to numerous International Conventions have repeatedly adopted legislation denouncing hazing. Pi Kappa Alpha has developed a new member education program completely void of hazing and requires that each chapter reads and distributes the Chapter Statement on Position on Hazing to each new member. The Fraternity mandates an eight week new member education program that educates new members on their fraternal responsibilities as active members and prepares each man with the tools to immediately contribute to the success of the chapter.
