A PARENT'S PERSPECTIVE

“When my son informed me he wanted to join a Fraternity I was quite concerned. I couldn’t get past the stereotype of Fraternity seen in movies and on television. Would he become that kind of Fraternity man? Would fraternity involvement affect his grades and study habits? Would it take away from the very reason he is in college- to get a quality education?

I was pleasantly surprised to see my son develop into a more confident and courageous man. He has become a leader in his chapter, is involved with the community and is taking his academics more seriously than ever before. He has found an incredible group of men to become involved with. Pi Kappa Phi has truly helped him get the most out of his collegiate experience.”

"When my son called me and said he was going to join a Fraternity, I had my reservations. When he asked me to become a part of it, I became intrigued. As an alumni initiate of Pi Kappa Phi I've had the opportunity to provide real world knowledge to a motivated group of college men while enjoying in a tradition that I was not afforded during my undergraduate career."

"I've always known my son would make the decisions that were best for him. I enjoy our relationship as father and son, but there's something extraordinarily unique in being able to identify with each other as 'brothers'".
