What is Pi Kappa Phi Day of Giving?

The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation hosts an annual Day of Giving on or near our Founders’ Day. The Pi Kappa Phi Day of Giving celebrates the history of the Fraternity, while supporting future generations of brothers.

Pi Kappa Phi Day of Giving will take place on December 10, 2024, with a goal of raising $150,000. This annual opportunity allows brothers to come together to celebrate Pi Kappa Phi’s impact, share their stories of why they support the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation and help ensure a positive experience for current and future undergraduate and alumni members of the Fraternity.

In 2024, we celebrate 120 years of Pi Kappa Phi. One hundred and twenty years of brothers believing in the mission of our founders, giving back to the organization and believing in the principles of common loyalty and lifelong commitment. We hope you will make an investment in Pi Kappa Phi because you believe in the power of our brotherhood.

WHY GIVE?

Your belief in, and your generosity to Pi Kappa Phi are vital to the success of the Fraternity.  

Your investment in Pi Kappa Phi will support: 

  • The Shared Undergraduate Experience: Leadership and educational programs like Pi Kapp College for Chapter Officers and the Warden’s Institute for Common Loyalty ensure that each student has the same Pi Kappa Phi experience, regardless of his chapter. Every warden was required to attend our newly created Institute and learned the skills necessary to deliver a first-class associate member program for their respective chapters. Our goal is for every Pi Kapp associate member to experience a journey that creates a lifetime affinity for the organization and for their chapter.  
  • Growth: Growth is the lifeblood of the Fraternity. Increased membership provides new networks, new financial capabilities and new opportunities. Our reimagined leadership consultant model provides nine dedicated staff members who support our chapters’ recruitment efforts.
      • Growth is also personal growth, growth in resources and growth in the strength of our brotherhood. 
  • Student and Chapter Grants: The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation provides resources to underwrite the expense to our chapters to attend programs like Pi Kapp College for Chapter Officers and Supreme Chapter. We also award academic scholarships to deserving students through a variety of scholarship programs. 
      • Our spring scholarship cycle awarded more than $37,000 to 33 students. The fall cycle is currently in progress. Results will be available in mid-November.

FAQs 

Why does Day of Giving occur on Founders’ Day?
Founders’ Day is a natural fit for Pi Kappa Phi’s Day of Giving. It is an important date in our brotherhood’s history and is a day for our brothers and friends to give back. 

Who can contribute?
Anyone! To be eligible for competition prizes, be sure to pick your favorite chapter at the time of your donation. You do not need to be a member of a chapter to choose it when you donate. Donations less than $19.04 will not qualify for the donor count category.

Don’t forget to include a chapter if you want to participate in the competitions!
