MEMBER NOTES


Founder's Day 2008

You're invited to join alumni, members and guests as we celebrate the 36th anniversary of our founding at ULM. The big weekend is April 25-26, 2008. From crawfish, to golf, to a dinner and dance at the Monroe Civic Center, we'll be celebrating in style in April. For more information contact Tommy Walpole.

Dr. Joe Pujol, Ed.D., FACSM (Eta Omicron '81); I did not ever plan to go to NLU, in fact I hardly even knew it existed until one of my older brothers enrolled there. I remember when he came back home the first time wearing his ΠΚΑ shirt. After taking some ribbing from one of my other brothers he spoke about the fraternity and the quality of people in the group and, of course, the fun they had. Having been in high school when Animal House came out I had a picture in my mind about fraternities and this began to sound like a lot of fun.

During my senior year of high school I made a trip to Monroe to learn more about the school. In the meantime I was able to meet the guys in the fraternity. They were as advertised, a close knit group of men who were fun to be around and also knew how to enjoy themselves. (more)

YOUR SON &

THE PI KAPPA ALPHA INTERNATIONAL FRATERNITY

We are excited that you and your son are contemplating Pi Kappa Alpha at ULM as a means to enhance his education. If your son decides to join our fraternity, we are confident that the experience will be valuable to his growth and development.

IMPACT OF FRATERNITIES ON THE COMMUNITY1

1The Impact of Fraternity Affiliation on College and Life Experiences: Center for Advanced Social Research - University of Missouri-Columbia

Membership in Pi Kappa Alpha is a lifelong experience, as expressed: Once a Pike, Always a Pike. Our alumni ranks are made up of over 200,000 men of outstanding character who uphold the virtues of Pi Kappa Alpha.

YOUR SON & COLLEGE

Some of the questions, running through your son's mind, as they leave for college:

Will I fit in and make new friends? ; Will I succeed academically? ; Will I get lost in the crowds and just become another number?
These concerns are very common. It is natural to want to belong and to be able to quickly adapt to new surroundings. As a parent, you share some of your son's concerns. You want him to succeed and have a positive experience. Pi Kappa Alpha at ULM offers your son the opportunity to meet a variety of people who share his interests and values and who can help him broaden his horizons.

The Pikes at ULM provide a "home away from home" and this creates a more intimate environment on campus for your son. Through academic enrichment programs, educational seminars, athletic events, community service, leadership development, and social functions, the Pikes at ULM produce successful alumni and strong citizens for the future.

Too often fraternities are perceived to be social outlets that promote carefree and irresponsible behaviors and attitudes. This image is extremely outdated and misleading. The Pikes at ULM have adopted a more responsible approach to socializing and have created a safer and more praiseworthy environment for their members.
In short, Pi Kappa Alpha is a dynamic group of diverse students who set the standards for others to follow at ULM.
