Educating Leaders. • • For Today and Tomorrow!
''I learned from the other chapter presidents. The interaction of all the chapter presidents gave me a sense of Pike nationally. That's what makes being in Pi Kappa Alpha so special- the programming that our National Fraternity puts together, and our alumni support.''
Josh Bernstein (Beta Theta '90)
Josh is a 1990 initiate of Beta Theta Chapter at Cornell University. He attended the 1992 Chapter Presidents Conference in Memphis, Tennessee.
Last year over 2,500 brothers, almost 25% of Pi Kappa Alpha's undergraduate membership, attended a leadership and personal development program supported in part by the Pi Kappa Alpha Educational Foundation.
Through the generosity of alumni and friends of Pi Kappa Alpha, eighteen regional and national conferences received financial support from the Educational Foundation in 1991. This year's conferences will address such issues as scholastic achievement, ethical leadership, personal financial management and career planning.
Gifts to the Educational Foundation's Annual Fund have provided over $100,000 for grants in the past five years for the support of Pi Kappa Alpha's leadership and personal development programs.
