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.
