Are you a Pike?
Are you a PIKE? A PIKE is a Scholar, Leader, Athlete, and most importantly a Gentlemen.
If you possess these qualities and are compelled by a high standard of excellence, then we challenge you to ask yourself one question: Where do you belong?
If you see yourself joining Ohio State’s finest men, as well as the finest men on the continent of North America, then you have our number.
Where do you belong?
The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity is a 142-year-old fraternity founded by six gentlemen in 1868 at the University of Virginia. Today, the Fraternity’s membership has grown to over 240,000 initiated members with active representation at 220+ colleges across the United States and Canada.
With nearly 14,000 active undergraduate brothers, the average size of a PIKE chapter is 62 men, the largest of any (inter)national Fraternity.
Why should YOU be a PIKE?
1) We are the 2010 ALL-SPORTS CHAMPIONS and plan to keep the tradition going.
2) We have the LARGEST ALUMNI NETWORK in the Columbus area over any other fraternity on campus. We have 1500 alumni just in the Columbus Area to network with and help you find jobs before and after graduation.
3) We are extremely DIVERSE on campus and are composed of men from many backgrounds.
4) We socialize with Ohio State's FINEST LADIES, including all of the sorority girls on Greek Row. We actively support their philanthropies, such as Nationwide Children's Hospital, Strike out Arthritis, the Children's Miracle Network, and the American Cancer Society, among many others!
5) We have leveraged alumni contacts in Congress and the Statehouse to create a Political Science internship program, to place strong candidates into state and federal level internships. Additionally, a parallel program in Business and Finance is currently being expanded to include internships in Engineering and academic research.
