Courage to be More

Courage to be More diligent

A call to members and alumni: be more in the ordinary hours — more diligent, more caring, more committed — so the Fraternity, and the men in it, are stronger than we found them.

The Call

Not a slogan.
A standard.

Pi Kappa Alpha is a brotherhood committed to the courageous pursuit of excellence in every chapter of life. Through the mutual advancement of our members and our Fraternity, we encourage one another to live with integrity and leave the communities we participate in better than when we found them.

Courage to be More asks something specific of every Pike — undergraduate and alumnus. Be more today than yesterday. Be more for the man next to you. Be more than the minimum the world will accept.

Fifteen ways to live the letters

Choose the word you will practice today. It stays on this device as a quiet reminder — no account required.

Brotherhood

One Fraternity.
One voice.

Founded in 1868 at the University of Virginia. More than 310,000 lifetime initiates. One brotherhood, many chapters, the same charge: have the courage to be more — for the Fraternity, and for the man beside you.

For life

For members

The chapter is watching how you live.

Be more in the classroom. Be more in recruitment — it takes the best to recruit the best. Be more in health and safety: refuse hazing, look after a brother who has had too much, and be the man who ends a night that should end.

  • — Scholar first. The letters do not replace the degree.
  • — Lead the unglamorous work: finances, ritual, the house.
  • — Practice being a gentleman when no guest is present.

For alumni

The letters did not stay on campus.

Mentor. Advise. Give. A connection to PIKE should not get lost with time. The next generation of Pikes will be as strong as the men who refuse to treat brotherhood as a four-year memory.

  • — Take a call from an undergraduate who needs a door opened.
  • — Serve on an alumni advisory board.
  • — Fund the experience you wish you had — and the one they need now.
