Pi Kappa Alpha

Pi Kappa Alpha members are known as “Pikes”. PIKE was founded at the University of Virginia, March 1, 1868. The Alpha Omicron chapter was established at Southwestern, November 2, 1910, making it the 1st of 12 Texas Pi Kappa Alpha Chapters. Pike undergraduates & alumni mentors are dedicated to developing men of integrity, intellect, ambition to succeed, and high moral character. The Alpha Omicron members have traditional values, are culturally diverse and united by a shared goal – to contribute to their “brotherhood” and themselves as Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. Alpha Omicron have access to both Texas & National Alumni Directories that support internships and professional graduation opportunities.

Purpose
