"I am retired from careers that, by most measures, were productive, successful, and personally fulfilling. Now, I find myself giving back to those institutions and associations that played a significant role in developing skills that served me well. I began contributing to the Pi Kappa Alpha Educational Foundation many years ago because I learned many important lessons while involved with the Beta Beta Chapter. I hope that by contributing and being involved personally that many of our young brothers can also develop leadership skills during their years with the fraternity that will serve them well throughout their lives. There is much truth to the motto, 'Once a Pike, Always a Pike' and giving back something after a rich experience has been rewarding to me."
- Gary Ausman (Washington, Beta Beta '57)
