Living by Pi Kappa Phi’s values, recipients of this award demonstrate a steadfast commitment to the Fraternity and show true friendship to Pi Kappa Phi.
2024 Recipient
Rachel Westra
Rachel spent 10 years on the Pi Kappa Phi staff, where she left her mark by improving numerous educational programs, such as Pi Kapp College for Emerging Leaders and Pi Kapp College for Chapter Officers. She also took the lead on launching the Fraternity’s Higher Education and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committees.
Her dedication to Pi Kappa Phi was evidenced by her devotion to the members of her team and the way she always kept the Fraternity at the forefront of her mind when making important and often difficult decisions. She wore many hats during her time with Pi Kappa Phi, overseeing the Student Experience, Prevention and Accountability and Expansion and Growth teams, but never wavered in her commitment to providing the best experience possible for our students. She represented Pi Kappa Phi well in the Greek world, becoming known and loved by many organizations through her attendance at conferences each year and building strong relationships that continue to reflect positively on Pi Kappa Phi.
