The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity at American University -- Main

Welcome to the Kappa Upsilon chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at American University. Founded here in 1996, Pike has quickly risen to become one of the most prominent fraternities on campus. In only five years after our inception, Kappa Upsilon won awards for public relations, rush, finance management, scholarship, pledge education, and was deemed The Most Outstanding Chapter In The Region. In the Fall of 2001, Pike won AU's intramural football tournament. Now in the 2005-2006 academic year, Pike is looking to be better than ever. Here at American, our diverse brotherhood can be seen in most every aspect of life, ranging from the classroom to the Student Confederation.

Every brother adheres to the ideals of SLAG. We are Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. These ideals have been present in thousands of brothers across the United States and Canada since Pike was formed in 1868 at the University of Virginia. Six men, on a Sunday evening, created what is now one of the largest fraternities in the United States. This tradition has been carried on for more than 135 years, and it will be carried on for years to come with one of the newest chapters of Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Upsilon, at American University in Washington, DC.
