A fraternity is a brotherhood of men committed to shared values such as leadership, scholarship, service, and lifelong friendship. It’s more than just a social organization—it’s a community that supports personal growth and success during and after college.

Fraternities offer a support system, leadership opportunities, academic resources, and a chance to build lifelong friendships. Members often gain access to alumni networks, career/professional development opportunities, and unforgettable college experiences.

Recruitment (Rush) is a series of events where potential new members (PNMs) meet different fraternities to see where they feel most at home. It’s a casual, no-pressure way to explore your options and learn about fraternity life.

Absolutely Not! The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity has a strict zero-tolerance policy toward hazing. We promote a safe, respectful environment where brotherhood is built on trust and shared experiences—not intimidation. During the four week long new member education program, new members will learn about PIKE, life skills, professional development, communication skills, and leadership development. This class is the precursor to our comprehensive program, The True PIKE Experience.

Yes, like other fraternities, we pay dues to support chapter operations, social events, and national organization fees. We’re transparent about costs and offer payment plans to ensure affordability for all members.

At SEMO, we have one of the most competitive fee structures. We also offer various scholarship, GPA discounts, and housing incentives that help offset tuition, housing, and fraternal costs.

Fraternity life requires a commitment and dedication, but it's designed to enhance—not hinder—your college experience. Members learn time management and often become more involved and successful on campus.

Academics are a top priority. Our chapter has strict GPA requirements and offer tutoring, study hours, and mentorship to help members stay on track. Brotherhood means supporting each other’s goals—including academic success.
