The Epsilon Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ recently won the Mixson Award, presented annually to the fraternity’s top national chapter on campuses with less than eight NIC fraternities. This is the third time the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ chapter has received the award. Pictured at right are Josh Donde, treasurer of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, and Mark Timmes, chief executive officer of Pi Kappa Phi national headquarters.
ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s Epsilon Alpha chapter has 79 members, making Pi Kappa Phi the largest fraternity on campus. In 2005-06, the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ chapter initiated more than 90 percent of its associate members. The chapter has a cumulative 3.2 grade point average.
The ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ chapter is active in several philanthropic and community service projects. Last year, the chapter raised almost $6,000 for Push America, the fraternity’s national philanthropic effort.
The Mixson Award is named for one of the three founding fathers of Pi Kappa Phi.
