WHY GIVE?

Because Pi Kappa Phi matters to our brotherhood. 

Your investment helps our student members grow and develop. 

• Through augmented prevention education programs and updated training modules, we help our young men make responsible decisions, live by the values of ultimate respect and hold each other accountable in all facets of the undergraduate experience.
• Every chapter has an opportunity to engage with prevention education programming each year. Through these shared experiences and new member education, we provide every man the opportunity for personal growth. 
• Fraternity members have statistically higher comfort levels in providing accountability in the areas of academics, relationships, professional/career and hazing.* 

 Your investment allows Pi Kappa Phi to continue to develop exceptional leaders. 

• Pi Kapp College for Chapter Officers will take place in Pittsburgh, Birmingham and Dallas in January. Each chapter leader will attend in person or online training. 
• 83% of fraternity members indicate stronger leadership confidence because of their fraternity membership.* 

Your investment encourages service before self each day within all of our chapters. 

• Our chapter officers lead their brothers and chapters forward as our brothers participate on campus and our chapters work to better their communities. 
• Each chapter will receive in-person visits from our outstanding group of leadership consultants and personalized coaching to ensure the next generation of Pi Kappa Phi embodies the spirit of servant leadership that sets our brotherhood apart. 
• Fraternity members spend significantly more time volunteering, mentoring and doing other types of service work, feeling a stronger connection to and being more engaged in their communities as servant –leaders.* 

Your investment fosters community.  

• In the summers of 2023 and 2024, the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation fully funded a training academy for each chapter warden focused on new member education that emphasized a sense of healthy belonging. This innovative program was a resounding success, with member retention increasing over each of the three semesters since the program’s inception.  
• Fraternity members in general report higher levels of positive mental health, with nearly 80% reporting good to excellent mental health and a strong sense of well-being.*
