The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
2007-2008 Annual Report
Chapter Services
The International Fraternity’s services department is charged with providing Pi Kappa Alpha’s chapters with specific developmental support throughout the academic year. This support includes annual consultant visits as well as specialized visits for developmental and recruitment purposes. Also, chapters have the ability to access a number of resources and handbooks via the Fraternity’s website at www.pikes.org.
2007-2008 brought many successes to Pi Kappa Alpha. Seven chapter consultants began traveling in early August to targeted chapters for over 30 recruitment visits. These visits educated chapters on appropriate strategies and prepared them for a successful year in their membership recruiting efforts. Standard consultant visits commenced shortly thereafter to provide all 215 chapters and colonies with chapter programming recommendations in membership education, financial and real estate management, risk awareness, alumni relations, recruitment, and a continued emphasis on effective chapter management. To address the fraternity’s rapid growth from a staffing perspective, two additional consultants were hired mid-year to continue moving in a positive direction. The Fraternity is proud to announce ten consultants will be traveling to all chapters and colonies throughout the 2008-2009 school term.
The services department is also charged with aiding chapters as they handle situations that demand more attention from the International Fraternity. Many of these developmental visits focus on addressing behavioral concerns and mediating disputes with universities.
All chapters and alumni are encouraged to contact the services department to request any assistance in areas of chapter management and operations. Your chapter consultant can also provide the support needed in these areas.
