A general college fraternity, such as Pi Kappa Phi, participates in many different college activities. On the social side, we organize open and closed parties, attend socials with sororities, and enjoy various other brother activities. In athletics we compete against other organizations and fraternities in softball, basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball. A unique facet of our fraternity is also our national philanthropy, PUSH America. Last, but not least, we encourage scholarship and academic achievement.

Alumni Initiation - Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity allows brothers to initiate men who have already attended an accredited institution. Men invite their grandfathers, fathers and brothers to take part in initiation. Alumni initiates are full members of Pi Kappa Phi and have the same rights as men initiated in college. The only restriction is they cannot previously be a member of any national social fraternity and they must be completed with their schooling. They can be memebers of honor fraternities and/or service fraternities.
