Academic Success
“Education
is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for
life; education is life itself.” –John Dewey, American Philosopher and Educator
Since
our inception in 1904, our founders charted a clear path as scholars and proclaimed
the importance of enhancing the intellect through word and deed. How
appropriate that the Chrestomathic Literary Society
serve as the catalyst for the development of Nu Phi and what would eventually
become our great fraternity.
Pi
Kappa Phi fraternity is committed to providing our undergraduate members with
the tools and resources they require to excel in and out of the classroom. The
Collegiate Success Workshop is our signature resource that can easily be
facilitated by an advisor, volunteer, or fraternity/sorority life advisor to enhance your
membership’s ability to excel academically.
If
you are interested in identifying a volunteer to work with your chapter to improve
your academic performance, contact us at volunteer@pikapp.org.
Order
of the Lamp
Pi Kappa Phi recognizes excellence in academics through the Order of the Lamp
academic honor society. Associate members and brothers are eligible for
recognition in the Order of the Lamp during each semester they achieve a
semester G.P.A. of at least a 3.25 on a 4.0 scale. Seniors who
achieve a cumulative G.P.A. of at least a 3.25 are
recognized with an Order of the Lamp seal to display on their
membership shingle. Applications are available here.
Scholarship
Opportunities
Pi Kappa Phi also offers a series of scholarships for members who excel
in the classroom. The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation chooses 12 junior or senior members as Pi Kapp Scholars each year.
