THE STUDENT CREED OF PI KAPPA PHI
I Believe that the ideal chapter is made up of men
Who are bound together in a common loyalty
which transcends any personal selfishness.
Who realize that membership means personal responsibility
in bearing their share of the financial burden
of the chapter and the national organization.
Who bring credit to the fraternity by striving to attain
the highest possible standards of scholarship.
Who safeguard the reputation of their chapter
by keeping careful watch over their personal conduct.
Who uphold faithfully the
traditions and activities of their college.
Who prepare themselves diligently to shoulder their
full responsibility as citizens.
I Believe that my chapter can become an ideal chapter, and I shall do my share to make it so.
History
THE BIG BOOK OF HISTORY OF PI KAPPA PHI
The fraternity movement began in 1776 when Thomas Jefferson formed a literary and political society with his closest friends at The College of William and Mary, and has been closely intertwined with the American experience ever since.
Fraternities have been born between men seeking brotherhood, fellowship, common understanding, and lifelong commitment, in nearly every imaginable environment – from the battlefields of the Civil War to the dining hall of a New York college to the second floor of a downtown storefront in Charleston. More than 250 years of leaders, scholars, athletes, citizens, and stewards have been shaped and built by the fraternity experience, and Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity is proud to be a leading member of that legacy.
Founded as Nu Phi (the non-fraternity) in Charleston, South Carolina at the turn of the 20th Century, we have grown from humble beginnings based in friendship and trust to a nationwide brotherhood of more than 80,000 men, living and leading in every state and community in our Union.
