Chapter Awards

International Awards

It’s a great time to be a Pike. And the fierce competition to claim one of numerous international awards proved that 2023-2024 was no exception. From recruitment numbers and PIKE U attendance to community service hours and philanthropy dollars raised, chapters posted record numbers in all areas of operations this year.

The Robert Adger Smythe Award recognizes the top 10% of all 200+ PIKE Chapters across North America. Well done, gentlemen!
