Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity closed its Kappa Omicron Chapter at the University of Connecticut effective June 26, 2024 for continued failure to adhere to university and fraternity expectations. Along with the National Council’s decision, the University of Connecticut issued an order to Kappa Omicron to cease and desist as a student organization.
“Pi Kappa Phi’s National Council determined closing the chapter is the appropriate action,” said Chief Executive Officer Jake Henderson. “We provide our students with the education, training and guidance to uphold the expectations of the fraternity and university. Pi Kappa Phi holds our chapters and individual members accountable for the choices they make.”
Pi Kappa Phi is thankful for the support and collaboration with the University of Connecticut. Together, we look forward to a time when Pi Kappa Phi can return to the UConn community.
Pi Kappa Phi seeks to create an uncommon and lifelong brotherhood that develops leaders and encourages service to others for the betterment of our communities. Dating back to the fraternity’s founding on December 10, 1904, at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, Pi Kappa Phi has exemplified a commitment to leadership, service before self and building a better world. Today, on more than 150 campuses across the United States, Pi Kappa Phi continues to broaden its commitment to building exceptional leaders through uncommon opportunities.
