  • The Importance of Being a Scholar

    The Pi Kappa Alpha Epsilon Chapter realizes that students enroll in college, first and foremost, to get an education and to improve their futures. Consistent with this philosophy, Pike places a high importance on scholarship and educating our members on all aspects of life. Through minimum G.P.A standards, mentor programs, educational sessions and Pike University educational seminars, members are equipped for success within the classroom and, subsequently, later in life. Pi Kappa Alpha members also enjoy substantial academic benefits provided by the Educational Foundation.

     Your number one time commitment and priority for the next four years will be academics. Today, there is a need to differentiate yourself from every other college student. Academic excellence is the key to success in the future and can put your head and shoulders above your competition. From day one, Pi Kappa Alpha provides the resources and support that will make your time in college as successful as it can be.


    Members are dedicated to academic success and we strive to improve on our chapter GPA every semester. With brothers in nearly every major at the university, the ability for help and advice is unparalleled in any other organization on campus

    Rewarding Scholarhip

We look for a freshman canidate who personifies these qualities by being an academic scholar, an emerging leader, a well-rounded athlete, and above all else: a true gentleman.

    Also, the Cotillion Club was a forerunner to the Pi Kappa Alpha Epsilon Chapter. The Cotillion Club Alumni formed an Alumni Association where they annually support a $500 scholarship which is given to the Brother of the Pi Kappa Alpha Epsilon Chapter that has the most improved Cumulative Grade Point Average over an academic year. This is determined on a weighted basis where it is dependant on how many total credit hours have been earned since enrolling.
