Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. This motto is a current mantra of the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity. The Gamma Sigma Chapter has excelled in each of these four facets of a True Pike. In scholarship, during the past calendar year the chapter has held a QPA of 3.0 equal to the all-men's average and much higher than the all-fraternity average. Campus leaders have become a trend in Gamma Sigma which over the past calendar year has featured two Greek Week Overalls, the Interfraternal Council President, and a Student Government Board Member. After winning the Greek Week Overall Award, Gamma Sigma has been recognized as a supreme athletic organization. The chapter completed a record high 900 community service hours and rose over $5,000 in philanthropy money donated demonstrating its stressed importance to acting like a Pike gentlemen. With Gamma Sigma doing so many great things, the newly elective Executive Board has set its goal very high. Clearly, Gamma Sigma has become a first class organization in which members are held by the ideals set by the International Fraternity. Gamma Sigma is increasingly dominating the University of Pittsburgh's Greek Community and through this the chapter hopes to welcome alumni support throughout the upcoming years. "Once a Pike, Always a Pike!"

Message From the Rush Chairman
|
message from Vino Jayaraman

I would like to welcome you to a new semester of Spring Rush at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. The work we have been doing is paving the way for a spectacular semester of recruitment. We are on a mission to have the most successful semester of rush in recent history.
Work hard, play hard, RUSH PIKE. If you have seem these words around campus, you have caught a small glimpse of the dedication with which this brotherhood has taken to rush. These words have a special meaning to us, and we hope they come to mean a lot to you as well. We are looking for men who exemplify the qualities of a Pike: scholars, leaders, athletes, and gentlemen. A unique combination of these characteristics and a desire to increase your social network are two important considerations when rushing Pike.
Here at the Gamma Sigma chapter my vision is to utilize rush to transform the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity from the inside out. Our goal, to initiate 25 of the highest quality men at the University of Pittsburgh, those who exemplify the qualities of a Pike, is slowly beginning to manifest. If you have any questions or would like to know anything more about rush this semester, please do not hesitate to contact me. We are extremely excited about what our house has to offer the University of Pittsburgh this year, and we look forward to your continued support!
Vino Jayaraman
Rush Chairman
