Strategic Plan

Background

Starting in 2016 Fraternity leadership set off on a mission to better understand how PIKE can use its strong network, reach, and influence not only to benefit its members, but also for a greater good. The numerous challenges within Fraternity/Sorority life, higher education, and society at large have led Pi Kappa Alpha to reexamine its core purpose as a historic — yet relevant and contemporary — fraternity and the value it offers to members and the broader community.

Methodology

PIKE conducted its most comprehensive survey ever with over 1800 respondents consisting of undergraduates and alumni, high school students and their parents, higher education and PIKE leadership, Greek, and non-Greek college students, among others
