The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity

 

Beta Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha is celebrating its 90th year in 2010. It is a pleasure to report a highly successful Fall rush, brother’s academic rankings continue to be amongst the highest within the Greek system, Pikes enjoy leadership positions in campus organizations like Texas Cowboys and Silver Spurs, our philanthropic commitment is expanding and we possess great support from alumni. We are enjoying the 2009 updates to the house, lawn and sport court to which so many alums contributed.

The Fall 2010 pledge class numbers 40 young men from throughout Texas as well as Illinois, California and the Northeast. Fall 2010 rush makes for five consistent years of sizeable pledge classes providing an overall active chapter membership of 125 Pikes. We have a fantastic Fall semester ahead filled with philanthropic service projects, Longhorn football weekends and our annual SWAMP party, always one of the Greek system’s most recognizable events.

Our brother’s GPAs ranked high among IFC rankings last year with an overall chapter GPA of 3.2 This solid academic standing earned Beta Mu the “Scholarship Award” at the International Pike Fraternity’s July annual convention held in Austin, where we also earned the “One Hundred Man Chapter Award.” During the convention Brother Ed Hyman ’65 was honored with the International Fraternity’s Distinguished Alumni Award. Beta Mu Chapter also honored Ed and his family for his generous lead gift in the 2009 House refurbishing with a special reception.

We are grateful to Beta Mu alumni for their ongoing support and we are excited about the newly constituted Alumni Advisory Board. We salute the many years of committed alumni leadership that Doug Phelan ’65 has provided and look forward to working with the enlarged advisory group. It was good to be with alumni at the four summer alumni receptions and we hope to see more alums and their families during football tailgates in the Fall.

Beta Mu is boldly entering its tenth decade at The University of Texas. There has never been a time to have more pride in being an active member or an alumnus of Pike Beta Mu Chapter. We encourage Pikes, alums and friends to visit when in Austin.

Respectfully,
Pat Braun ‘07
President

Pike was founded at U.T.- Austin in 1920. We have experienced years of tradition as a social fraternity engaging in leadership activities and athletics while stressing academic achievement. As with other clubs and membership organizations in a large university setting, being a part of Pike enhances the undergraduate experience while building lifelong friendships.
