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