SLAG stands for Students, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen, and are the pillars of our success.  The men we recruit are nothing but the best, and we only select those who exemplify these four characteristics.  These men are:

Scholars

Pi Kappa Alpha realizes that students enroll in college, first and foremost, to get an education and to improve their futures.  Consistent with this philosophy, Pike places a high importance on scholarship and educating our members on all aspects of life.  Through minimum GPA standards, mentor programs, educational sessions and Pike University educational seminars, members are equipped for success within the classroom, and subsequently, later in life.

Leaders

Leadership is key to both Pi Kappa Alpha's success, and the success of our individual members.  The Fraternity provides a valuable arena for developing and honing leadership skills that will benefit the individual member throughout life.  Pi Kappa Alpha provides leadership opportunities through executive positions within the chapter, as well as committee positions within the chapter and within the Interfraternity Council (IFC).  In addition, Pi Kappa Alpha promotes leadership through campus involvement by involving its members in positions of leadership in other organizations.  On an international level, unique opportunities are offered in leadership training through Pike University events.

The leadership skills gained as an undergraduate are applied in the business world post-graduation.  Many successful Pike alumni are scouting the undergraduate ranks for the next executive of their company.  Most good jobs are found through networking; not through classified ads.  Pi Kappa Alpha's size and reputation serve as a tremendous resource for recent graduates in pursuit of that perfect job.

Athletes

Athletic competition provides valuable benefits to college students because it involves people in challenging each other to perform at their highest levels.  Pike is dedicated to inspiring its members to perform at their highest levels in everything they do.  Pike believes that through ahletic competition our members will build teamwork skills fundamental to success in life, bolster unity within the chapter, and improve the quality of their overall college experience.  Whether it be through varsity athletics, intramurals, or simply sharing the experience by supporting other members, athletics can fill in the missing pieces in classroom learning to create the overall college experience.

Gentlemen

Six exemplary gentlement started Pi Kappa Alpha in 1868.  Today we continue their tradition by only recruiting the best men.  Pi Kappa Alpha prides itself on the fact that we are composed solely of gentlemen.  We recruit members who are respectful to themselves and others.  Once they are members, these men are given the opportunity to improve and practice proper social skills and behavior through membership development programming and Fraternity social events.

Producing quality gentlemen is the most important aspect of our Fraternity.
