Thanks for considering being a part of the UT fraternity system and for allowing us to introduce Pi Kappa Alpha (known as PIKE).

As with most fraternities at Texas, we recruit new member or “rush” in the summer for our traditional Fall pledge class. These pledge classes generally have 30 – 40 pledges, usually composed of freshmen students. Our summer activities traditionally include rush events at each orientation, major “state rush” parties in Dallas, Houston and Austin over the course of the summer and Formal Rush takes place the first two weeks of school. Texas Pike also usually has a smaller Spring rush for transferring students or those that weren’t ready for a fraternity during the first semester of college. Please check this website for calendar updates.

Pike has been on the UT campus since 1920 and we have initiated almost 2300 men in our Chapter since our founding in Austin. Our new 2010 Fall pledge class has 37 young men from many parts of Texas as well as several other states. Our Spring 2010 pledge class had four men.

You (and your families) should know we are completely committed to our incoming members by promoting four main characteristics: scholarship, leadership, being a gentlemen, and athletics. Pike offers an environment where one cannot only excel academically, but also make lifetime friends in a social setting. We take scholarship seriously. Our GPA ranks in the top third of the all UT fraternity average.

Pike held a number of great social events this past year including our annual SWAMP party which was one of the most notable fraternity parties on campus the entire year, many mixers with sororities and of course functions like Friday burgers and basketball, and football tailgates and formals.

Being the second largest Fraternity in the nation, Pi Kappa Alpha provides a platform for future endeavors after your undergraduate years in the worlds of business, arts and sports. Our active alumni network involves men who are leaders in their fields ranging from the energy world to real estate development to private equity and investment managers to advertising to teaching and coaching to medicine to engineering.
