Setting the Standard

Our mission statement is very clear in what type of goals we want to do. We want to set the standard of whatever we are doing to the community as a whole. I feel as if we are congruent with most of the things that we want to set the standard for or at least striving to achieve our mission statement.

Pi Kappa Alpha will set the standard of integrity, intellect, and achievement for our members, host institutions, and the communities in which we live.

Our integrity of our chapter is amazing. People are honest with each other and tell each other their opinions of things. I feel as though all of our member’s morals and ethics principals aren’t challenged because we are accepting of each other’s opinions and we try to cooperate with each other to make each other happy.

Even though we aren’t near the top in fraternal rank in terms of GPA, we are striving to be better than the undergraduate GPA and the overall Greek GPA. So we are aiming towards our goal so I can say that we are trying to set the standard for that as well.

I would say that we strive to get our members to achieve all their goals. Last year we had to set goals for the quarter and we had a brother to keep track and make sure that we were achieving those goals. Also now even though it’s not written down, people voice what their goals are and some brothers help keep them on track to achieve their goals.

I feel as though we are partially achieving our goal of hosting institutions. I mean we have Zack Rubin-McCarry as president of IFC, Zac Beals as VP for Community service for IFC, Michael Farniacci for senate of USG, and Ben Nagel as the current recruitment chair for USG, and is founder of the youkali club here at OSU, just to name a few of our high positions on campus. I feel as though we can be doing more in some significant organizations on and off campus, but we are doing fine now.

Since we moved houses I feel as though we have impacted our community immensely. At first we were in Iuka which almost no one knows where the heck it is, but now that we are on 15^th people can see what we are doing and how we are affecting the fraternities and sororities around us. We are already creating a bond between different sororities because we have little get overs, like s’mores, with the sororities around us and they all get along. Also we are communicating to the people around us that Greek life actually does stuff either than drink because we try to promote our philanthropies, and we try to get a huge showing at our community service events.
