Petition to Install Submitted 1-20-25

Good morning brothers! The chapter officially submitted the petition to install to headquarters this past Monday. We are hoping to be officially approved and are beginning the review process with Nationals soon. If approved, we could be chartered as soon as this semester. We will be sure to keep everyone in the loop, and hope to see you at the chartering banquet once approved.

Fall 2025 Wrap Up - The chapter sent me this fall wrap-up in November, but I have had technical difficulties getting it emailed out. I am going to post here and attempt to resend differently today.

Good evening brothers,

I hope you have all had a good summer and are as excited as I am for the Pack to take on Clemson this weekend for a big win! The chapter recently completed formal recruitment for the fall and added 20 new members. We stand 120 strong currently and have lots to look forward to for the semester.

There will be a bigger newsletter coming out soon, but the boys did send this brief over to see if there's any interest in these upcoming events. If you scan the QR codes with your phone for either event, it will lead to a google form for you to register. The boys are holding their inaugural golf tournament at Knight's Play in October and a watch party at the new PiKA House on campus for the Cal game.

If you have any questions you can reach out to chapter advisor Matt Tucker at (919) 601-9068 or [email protected]

Good Morning Brothers,

The chapter has put together their first newsletter for this spring. Please read along to catch up on the chapter and see their invite for a seniors/alumni night at Pantana's Pool Hall this upcoming Saturday at 5pm. This is late notice, but I had issues getting the emails to send properly last week and apologize.

The chapter members have been fully initiated and look forward to continuing prepping for a chartering installation this fall. Please consider donating some time this weekend, if you're local, to meet the members and reconnect with other alumni.

Call or text me directly if you need any help or have questions. If you didn't receive a copy of this in your email, please send an email to [email protected] to update our registry.

itb,
Matt Tucker

Spring Recruitment has wrapped and 12 more men have joined AE of Pi Kappa Alpha’s re founding class. These men are excited to join the great group we already have and we look forward to the great things to come. The chapter stands strong around 135 men, 2nd largest on state’s campus.

The chapter has planned Pi Ball in Myrtle Beach this spring and is working on philanthropy and community service events as well. A handful of members are racing the Krispy Kreme challenge this weekend so keep an eye out for brothers in letters along the race.

The chapter had 3 members of exec attend a Chapter Executives Conference in Memphis earlier this month as well. They got a chance to meet with leaders of the fraternity, other chapter and provisional chapter leaders, and tour Memorial Headquarters.

Some of the members have rented a part of the triplex in Greek Village and now have a small place for the brotherhood to gather this semester. It’s an option we are exploring for next year as well.

The next Pike U event is 2/9-11 in Atlanta and the chapter has several members attending. David Newsome will be there in his role as Pine Regional President and I’ll be there as Chapter Advisor.

If any alumni could consider donating the Chapter Endowment Fund, it helps fund these leadership academies for the chapter and are excellent for the students.

Meet the Pikes Night.

As loyal volunteers and dedicated alumni, I write to you today to provide information regarding the current state of Alpha Epsilon Chapter at NC State University.

As you may recall the Alpha Epsilon Chapter was dutifully (re)installed in early spring 2019. I regret to inform you that due to actions of the chapter and/or its members, has resulted in the suspension of the chapter by North Carolina State University for a minimum of four (4) years. In the institution's findings the chapter or its members were charged with participation in a variety of hazing activities directed against spring 2019 new members over a period of approximately forty-five (45) days. According to an investigation conducted by the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Pi Kappa Alpha members engaged in behaviors that include, but are not limited to:

- New members participated in line-ups which included quizzes and physical requirements (calisthenics, wall squats, etc.),
- New members were required to deliver and/or purchase food to be delivered to initiated members,
- New members were given degrading names and assignments by initiated members,
- New members were required to ask for inappropriate pictures of women and supply to the chapter.

Given the chapter’s checkered conduct history of having gone through a membership review as a colony for individual members with judicial violations along the previously listed violations, the institution came to the outcome of suspension. The chapter appealed the University’s June 3rd decision (here) of a four (4) year suspension which includes an additional two (2) year probation of the group upon its return. On August 13th the institution upheld its original decision. Given the University's outcome and the actions of the members of Alpha Epsilon Chapter, the International Fraternity has suspended the Alpha Epsilon Chapter.

The International Fraternity understands that this is painful for alumni young and old. However, Pi Kappa Alpha is committed to a successful and strong return to NC State University. It is through the alumni that Alpha Epsilon will live on until the return of Pi Kappa Alpha to NC State.

Lastly, the International Fraternity wants to extend a heartfelt thank you to Alpha Epsilon volunteers, especially those that are long-tenured; who have put their time, emotions, and treasure into supporting this group.

Fraternally,

Chase Dannenbaum
Director of Alumni Engagement

Saddened to learn that one of our own and a driving force behind Raleigh's success, Steve Schuster, passed away last weekend. Even recently, he was helping our alumni group with the design of a potential PKA house. Wishing his family and brothers the best.

Steven Schuster, the architect known for helping revitalize downtown Raleigh has died.
