Pi Kappa Alpha was founded in Room 47 West Range at the University of Virginia in 1868. Since then, it has developed into an international brotherhood and become one of the largest fraternal organizations in the world.

How? It’s simple. Pi Kappa Alpha has remained dedicated to developing men of integrity, intellect, success and high moral character, and to fostering a truly lifelong fraternal experience. Our members continue to have a positive impact on their campuses, their communities and throughout their life. We believe the fraternal experience makes better men, better friends, better husbands, better fathers and better citizens.
