President's Letter

 

Beta Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha is celebrating its 90th year in 2010.  The chapter is fortunate that our membership remains strong, our member’s academic rankings continue to be very respectable within the Greek system, we enjoy leadership positions in campus organizations, and possess great support from alumni.  We are also increasing our philanthropic work in the community and continue to field strong teams in intramural sports.

The Fall 2009 pledge class numbered 24 young men from throughout Texas as well as Arizona, California, Connecticut, and Germany.  We have four new Spring 2010 pledges, giving us an overall Chapter membership of 106 Pikes. Our active chapter’s GPA ranked 6th among IFC rankings last semester with over 60 percent of our members earning a 3.0 or higher. We are continuing our service project relationship with the Autism Society of Greater Austin participating in ASGA’s third annual Bike Ride for Autism this Spring. We have brothers in Texas Cowboys along with a Pike serving as president of Silver Spurs; Pikes are also active in other organizations like the Texas Outdoorsmen Association, the Texas Wildlife Association and Order of the Omega honor society.

We are grateful to Beta Mu alumni for their professional expertise ranging from architecture to construction management and for financial contributions to refresh the chapter house exterior in Summer 2009.  The updates include an expanded outdoor patio function area, sport court, landscaping and perimeter walls which have provided a great look to the Beta Mu house.  Alumni, please check the calendar for dates to our Austin, DFW, Houston and San Antonio 90th Anniversary cocktails receptions in May and June.

Finally, rush is the lifeblood of the fraternity and we look forward to a strong Summer 2010 Rush program and welcome prospective rushee interest. I speak for the chapter in saying there has never been a time to have more pride in being an active member or an alumnus of the Beta Mu chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha.

Respectfully,

Pat Braun ‘07
President
