Legacy Program
Pi
Kappa Phi’s legacy program allows alumni members to create a truly unique bond that
blends family with fraternity.
The National Headquarters refers all information obtained through the Legacy Program directly to our student chapters, which, in turn, recruit the legacy member. You can Recommend a Legacy or contact Chris Conner at cconner@pikapp.org with questions regarding Pi Kappa Phi's legacy program.
Who qualifies
as a legacy?
Traditionally,
a legacy is considered to be a direct family member of an initiated brother (i.e.
brother, son, nephew, grandson, etc.). Pi Kappa Phi’s Supreme Law expands on
that definition to include any person directly recommended by an alumnus in
good standing shall be treated as a legacy. In
short, a legacy is a young man who an alumnus holds in high regard and would recommend
for membership in a chapter.
Do all legacies receive bids?
In
Pi Kappa Phi, no chapter is required to extend a bid to a legacy if they feel
they are not good fit for the chapter.
However,
chapters are required by Supreme Law to actively recruit legacies. In the case
where the chapter chooses not of offer a bid to a legacy, the archon or vice
archon must contact the alumnus associated with the legacy to provide an
explanation for not extending the bid.
