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

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)
THE TRUE PIKE LIFESTYLE
As a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, I have pledged myself to uphold the values
taught in our Ritual and restated in our Vision, Mission, and Creed. The True Pike is committed
to a life of caring for others as he cares for himself. In pursuit of that ideal, I reaffirm my
pledge...
...To Myself
to practice academic integrity and strive for academic achievement
to meet all of my financial obligations on time
to preserve a sound mind and body, rejecting abuse of alcohol or drugs
to pursue my career goals zealously, but with integrity
to promote brotherly love and kind feeling, nurturing my friendships
to dedicate myself to my family, my faith, and pursuit of the truth.
...To My Brothers
to challenge all brothers to uphold this code and hold accountable those who do not
to respect the dignity of all; not to tolerate physical or mental abuse of any human being
to seek and fulfill leadership roles and participate energetically in Fraternity activities
to encourage my chapter to establish and enforce rigorous academic standards
to urge my chapter not to tolerate abuse of alcohol or drugs
to actively recruit new members who I believe will uphold the Fraternity's values
to participate enthusiastically in an education program to inculcate our values
...To My Fraternity
to ensure that my conduct at all events and activities reflects Pi Kappa Alpha in a positive light
to reach out to brothers beyond my own chapter; and welcome those who reach out to me
to participate actively in Fraternity sponsored educational and leadership conferences
to volunteer my time as an alumnus to an area chapter or alumni association or to the Fraternity
to provide financial support for the Pi Kappa Alpha Educational Foundation
to respect the Fraternity's property and symbols
to leave the Fraternity and my chapter better than they were when I arrived
...To My Community
to protect the health and safety of others
to participate in campus activities, and stay involved with my alma mater beyond my graduation
to foster good relationships with the University faculty and administration
to serve my community through participation in civic organizations and events
Only by so doing, can I fulfill my commitment to Pi Kappa Alpha and be worthy to count myself a
True Pike.
