Why Rushing Pi Kappa Alpha Was One Of The Best Decisions I Had Made
Pi Kappa Alpha

1. You always have someone to hang out with.

No matter what is happening on campus, I have always been able to call up one of my brothers to hang out or get some food. At any point of the day, I could find someone to relax with, and that is not something everyone just has.

2. There is always an event happening of some sort.

Pi Kappa Alpha members at Methodist have their hands in many many pies. I can just meander around the campus and see anything from a group of guys hanging out by the cars, to a pie eating contest impromptu being held on Sink Field. Regardless of where on campus one goes, you are bound to see a Pike doing something worthwhile and doing something fun. Join in if you want, the more the merrier.

3. Pike puts a good foot forward on campus

Pikes don't just know how to have fun, but we also know how to help our community. We engage in amazing involvements, Cycle For Life being one of them, as well as Habitat for Humanity and many other community service projects. Pike men believe in bettering themselves through their community. We do that by any means we can, whether it involves heavy lifting or simple fundraising.

4. Pikes hold each other to a higher standard

Members of Pi Kappa Alpha live in the effort to become better Scholars, better Leaders, better Athletes, and better Gentlemen. This means we have told not only push ourselves in our studies and personal lives, but we also must push each other to be better. Without the support, I'm sure I wouldn't have succeeded as much as I did in my freshman year.

5. Amazing opportunities beyond university

When I'm wearing letters, people recognize me as a member of a greater organization. They don't just see Greek symbols, but they see something bigger, a group that has spent many years attempting to better the world around it and creating individuals of the finest caliber. It reminds me that I don't just have brothers while I am at school, but that I will be a part of this for the rest of my life, and that is something that I can truly take pride in.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
