Hazing Policy:
Each chapter of The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity recognizes the Fraternity's Standards, which include a standard of absolutely no hazing. Many have experienced hazing in high school, either as a new member of an athletic team, a school band or a school social group. The most serious is direct physical abuse, such as being paddled, to a milder form, such as push‑ups, to subtler approaches, such as drinking games. Pi Kappa Alpha is proud to announce its partnership with HazingPrevention.org as a national sponsor. HazingPrevention.org is a national organization dedicated to its mission of empowering people to prevent hazing in college and university student groups. The possession, use and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages, while on chapter premises, during an official chapter event, or
in any situation sponsored or endorsed by the chapter, must be in compliance with any and all applicable laws of the state,
county, city and university.
2. Open social functions, meaning those planned activities conducted by a chapter where alcohol is present with unrestricted
access to alcohol by non-members of the Fraternity, who do not have a specific invitation, shall be prohibited.
3. The purchase or use of a bulk quantity or common source(s) of alcoholic beverages by a chapter is prohibited.
4. No chapter shall permit, tolerate, encourage or participate in “drinking games” at a chapter-sponsored event.
5. The possession, sale and/or use of any illegal drugs or controlled substances at any chapter house, chapter-sponsored or cosponsored event, or at any event that an observer would associate with the chapter, is strictly prohibited.
6. No alcoholic beverages may be purchased through the chapter treasury nor may the purchase of same for the members or
guests be undertaken or coordinated by any member in the name of or on behalf of the chapter.
7. All recruitment or rush activities conducted by or on behalf of any chapter shall be non-alcoholic.
8. No alcohol shall be present at any new member program, activity, or ritual of the chapter.
