PI KAPPA ALPHA
An integral part of the University of Washington for 60 years, his contribution to the fraternity and sorority community is simply unmatched. As an undergraduate, Gary Ausman served as president of Pi Kappa Alpha and the IFC executive board. He went on to serve a long career with the University of Washington, which included advising the IFC for 23 years. In 2017, he made a sizable donation to endow the creation of the Gary Ausman Fraternal Leadership Academy, a one-day leadership development experience for emerging fraternity leaders.
