Scholarships
Upsilon 451 Scholarship Program
On February 27, 1955, Pi Kappa Phi’s Upsilon (Illinois) Chapter initiated its 451st member. This initiate would always remember his Pi Kappa Phi experience fondly and the lifelong friendships he made, the wonderful memories he formed and the important lessons he learned (which were that the greater good for the Fraternity was more important than that of any one person) would stay with him his entire life.
It is in this spirit that the Upsilon 451 Scholarship was created to honor two brothers from the Upsilon Chapter.
