The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
2007-2008 Annual Report
Chapter Services
2007-2008 has been yet another landmark year for Pi Kappa Alpha recruitment. With 5,797 pledges and 4,781 initiations, the Fraternity exceeded its goal of 5% quality growth. By focusing on recruiting the "most, best men," Pi Kappa Alpha reasserted itself as the premier college fraternity in all of North America. Thanks to our time-tested recruitment techniques, top-notch recruitment education, and - most importantly - the hard work and dedication of our undergraduate chapters, Pi Kappa Alpha can once again enjoy its view from the top of the fraternity world, boasting the largest average chapter size of any college fraternity with an average size of 65 men.
As another component of the Fraternity's quality growth initiative, Pi Kappa Alpha continues to raise the bar in terms of fraternity expansion. Six new colonies were established and five new chapters installed throughout the academic year. Pi Kappa Alpha anticipates supporting at least eight colonization efforts in 2008-2009 including the University of Arizona (Gamma Delta), Stetson University (Delta Upsilon), Virginia Commonwealth University, University of North Carolina-Pembroke (Eta Omega), McNeese State University, University of North Carolina-Wilmington, Trinity University of San Antonio, and Emory University (Beta Kappa).
