    The True PIKE:

    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 doing so, can I fulfill my commitment to Pi Kappa Alpha and be worthy to count myself a True Pike.
