"A house, a grip, a badge, a song, an emblem—these do not make a fraternity. It is the unseen things—friendship, brotherhood, character, honor, courage, ideals—these make the fraternity and the man." Today we're celebrating 114 years of Pi Kappa Phi! ⚔️
"December 10, 1904 - A meeting was held at 8 p.m. at 90 Broad Street for the purpose of organizing a fraternity. The following gentlemen were present: J. Fogarty, S. Fogarty, Jr., Theodore B. Kelley, Andrew Kroeg, Jr., Harry Mixson, A. Pelzer Wagener; and Tom Mosimann."

We are thinking of our brothers at Epsilon Omega (
@PiKappaPhi_TTU
) after the tragic loss of brother Elmer Arrieta, who joined the Chapter Eternal while studying abroad in Russia.
It is with great sorrow to announce that we have lost our brother Elmer Arrieta. Yesterday, Elmer’s study abroad class went on a tragic hiking accident. He truly demonstrated how to be a Man of Class. Chapter Eternal is blessed to have another angel, ODH. Rest In Peace Brother.
Today we remember those who lost their lives in the events of September 11, 2001, as well as our brothers who perished that day.
