After years of absence, Pi Kappa has officially rechartered, offering men on campus another social club to connect with.
Pi Kappa President Hawke Ratliff said bringing the fraternity back to campus has been a journey of planning, prayer and dedication from its new members and officers.
Unlike other Greek Life clubs on campus, Pi Kappa’s New Member Orientation is including both officers and members.
“We wanted to do everything together, and we wanted it to be very unifying and not divisive between the officers and the new members,” said Pi Kappa NMO director Griffin Sullivan.
At the heart of Pi Kappa’s mission is its commitment to Christ and one another. The fraternity’s foundation aligns with the principles of Matthew 22:37-39, which commands believers to love God and love others.
Alex Peet, sophomore Bible and ministry major from Boerne, said the fraternity’s structure provides an opportunity for growing closer to God.
“It genuinely feels like that’s their goal – to bring people closer to God and live life with each other,” Peet said.
Ratliff, junior electrical engineering major from Garland, said everything done in the NMO events reflects the fraternity’s core values. He said there’s nothing to hide, and members are upfront about their beliefs.
The rechartering process has included activities designed to deepen faith and strengthen bonds. Ratliff described one of the first nights of NMO, which was centered on worship and prayer.
“We had a night of worship where we prayed over each other and prepared our hearts for what was to come,” Ratliff said. “It’s all about building a community and brotherhood that is centered on Christ.”
