Ways to Help

HOW TO GET INVOLVED---DO THESE 3 STEPS

One of our alumni has made a generous matching donation of up to $50000 to be used to pay our debt to MTSU and fund scholarships for our brothers to be able to attend leadership training to help ensure our chapters' success upon returning to MTSU. Our alumni have been challenged to meet the $50,000 challenge.

The Pi Kappa Alpha Educational Foundation has made it very simple for us to give. We need 50 alumni to say, "Yes, my experience was valuable, and having a chapter again matters." In one week, we were able to raise $6000 from 5 donors; in brotherhood meeting, we have topped $18000 from 14 generous donors. We need approximately 36 more donations from a dollar a day ($365) to $5000 at this time. In two months we have reached 37% of our goal. If you can give a dollar a day we would love it, or if you can give $5000 we would would be extremely excited. If you can give more, we would accept it, but we want at least 50 members to buy in, so we know this is something our alumni want to happen.

This is real, we have a legitimate shot of having a chapter re-colonize by Fall 2027 or Spring 2028. We need to get this money raised first before any negotiations with MTSU can take place. The money raised will never be paid to MTSU without assurance that we will be returning to campus.

Any funds raised beyond our initial goal will go towards an endowment so our alumni can scholarship our new chapter leaders to attend Pike University Leadership events in perpetuity. THIS MONEY WILL NEVER BE USED FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT MTSU PIKES AND THEIR SUCCESS.

We are grateful for any donation of any amount, but this need is NOW, so we are needing quick action and for everyone to dig a little deeper than normal.

We will be forming an MTSU Pikes Alumni Association. This will be the group that coordinates fun alumni get togethers such as homecoming, golf/softball, other sporting get togethers, socials, Founder's Day, monthly luncheon etc. Completing this form will help us know who is interested in spending time with their alumni brothers. Ideally, we have guys from every era represented, so sign up and share with all the Pike brothers from your era that you can.

As we begin our journey toward recolonization, we will need 8-27 alumni volunteers willing to donate their time and life experience to help make our new chapter successful and sustainable.

A small alumni board means a lot of work for a few people. A large alumni board means we can share the burden. There will be positions to advise with minimal commitment, all the way to large commitments. Still, we need to start gathering information and begin reviewing our alumni resources, and find out who is willing to help and how much of a time commitment each alumnus has to help. Having this information in advance will help us be ready to go when it is time to bring the chapter back.
