The Ad Astra Society

Pi Kappa Phi strives to create an uncommon and lifelong brotherhood that develops leaders and encourages service to others for the betterment of our communities. Applications will reopen in fall 2025.
Derived from the Latin phrase meaning “To the Stars,” the Ad Astra Society recognizes the Fraternity’s top student leaders for their achievement and impact within Pi Kappa Phi, on their campus and/or in the local community.

No more than one percent of Pi Kappa Phi’s undergraduate students may be inducted in the Ad Astra Society each year.

Inductees

Student members are challenged to apply to this society, which exemplifies Pi Kappa Phi’s commitment to leadership. The Fraternity receives hundreds of nominations and applications, and of those applications, only one percent of our student membership is recognized annually. This makes the Ad Astra Society one of Pi Kappa Phi’s most exclusive groups to be inducted into.
