The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity

Pike was founded at U.T.- Austin in 1920. We have experienced years of tradition as a social fraternity engaging in leadership activities and athletics while stressing academic achievement. As with other clubs and membership organizations in a large university setting, being a part of Pike enhances the undergraduate experience while building lifelong friendships.

Beta Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha is celebrating its 92nd year in 2012. It is a pleasure to report a highly successful 2011 with 34 Fall pledges now initiated and full Pike members. We now have an overall active chapter membership of 125 Pikes.

Pike academic rankings continue to be amongst the highest within the Greek system, Pikes enjoy leadership positions in campus organizations like Texas Cowboys and Silver Spurs, our philanthropic commitment is expanding and we possess solid support from alumni.

The Spring semester plans include integrating the pledges into full membership, undertaking philanthropic service projects and the social components of preparing for our Pikes Peak party and participating in Round Up weekend. We always look forward to celebrating Pike's founding in early March with Founder's Day.

Academics remain a priority at the Pike House. Our brothers' overall University-tabulated GPAs rank 5th amongst the 23 IFC fraternities following the Spring 2011 semester with an overall chapter GPA of 3.2. This solid academic performance again earned Beta Mu the "Scholarship Award" from the International Pike Fraternity's summer meeting. Beta Mu also was recognized with the Pike "One Hundred Man Chapter Award," the "Phi-Phi-K-A Award" for 100 percent chapter support of The Pike Educational Foundation as well as a regional award recognizing our successful rush/recruitment program.

Pikes are actively volunteered with a number other organizations that positively impact the community like Capitol Area Boys Scouts Council and helped staff several other charitable events with sororities.

We are grateful to Beta Mu alumni for ongoing support. A number of alums gathered in late Fall in Austin, Dallas and Houston events. Our officers and actives joined these alumni events and we are grateful for the fellowship and interaction.

Beta Mu is well into our tenth decade at The University of Texas at Austin. There has never been a time to have more pride in being an active member or an alumnus of Pike Beta Mu Chapter. We encourage Pikes, alums and friends to visit when in Austin.

Respectfully,
Trevor Black '08
President
