We are Scholars, Leaders, Atheletes, and Gentlemen.
All PIKES pride ourselves on the four pillars of SLAG. Each and every one fo us hold these values close to our hearts.
About SLAG
The men of the Lambda Epsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha have a long history of dominance at U of A because of our emphasis on building our members into the top Scholars, Leaders, Athletes and Gentlemen. Hence, SLAG. SLAG stands for Scholars, 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
Leaders
The Fraternity provides a valuable arena for developing and honing leadership skills that will benefit the individual member throughout his life. In addition, Pi Kappa Alpha promotes leadership through campus involvement, by encouraging its members to take on positions of leadership in other organizations.
By being a part of one of the largest fraternal organizations in North America, our members are provided the opportunity to not only gain elite leadership experience while in college, but to network with our highly successful alumni in their post-graduate careers.
Athletes
Pi Kappa Alpha believes that athletic competition can provide valuable benefits to college students because it encourages young men to challenge each other and to perform at their highest levels. Pi Kappa Alpha is dedicated to inspiring its members to compete and push themselves in everything they do.
We believe that through athletic competition, we will build teamwork skills fundamental to success in the business world, bolster unity within the chapter, contribute to the physical and mental health of our members, and improve the quality of the overall college experience. Competition breeds excellence - in the classroom, on the playing fields, and in our daily lives.
Gentlemen
Pi Kappa Alpha is dedicated to developing men of integrity, intellect, and high moral character and to fostering a truly lifelong fraternal experience. Six exemplary gentlemen founded Pi Kappa Alpha in 1868 as a way to build friendships based on common values. Today we continue in their tradition by recruiting quality gentlemen—men that respect themselves, their peers, and their communities, as stated in our True Pike values.
Members of the Fraternity are taught proper social skills and etiquette through membership development programs, and given the opportunity to practice these skills at social events such as mixers, exchanges, and formals.
In addition to the social aspect of being a gentleman, members are strongly encouraged to participate in the numerous community service and philanthropy opportunities presented by our chapters. Pi Kappa Alpha believes that a commitment to service is a crucial part of developing as a young man.
