Pi Kappa Alpha Preamble
Sunday Evening, March 1, 1868
University of Virginia
For the establishment of friendship on a firmer and more lasting basis
for the promotion of brotherly love and kind feeling;
for the mutual benefit and advancement of the interests of those
with whom we sympathize and deem worthy of our regard;
We have resolved to form a Fraternity,
believing that, thus we can most successfully accomplish our object

Ode to a Pledge
Yesterday is gone forever;
Tomorrow is yet to be;
The destiny of Pi Kappa Alpha
Rests today with thee.
Robert D. Lynn
(Presbyterian College, Mu ’31)
The Pi Kappa Alpha
Statement on Integrity
Our Founders created Pi Kappa Alpha
to attract men committed to the full development
of their intellectual and personal potential.
This object requires
that a community of trust exist among all brothers,
along with a faithful devotion
to truth and honour.
Integrity is demanded
in all relationships and pursuits,
both personal and academic.
The Dream Girl of Pi Kappa Alpha
The dream girl of Pi Kappa Alpha
Is the girl I’ll always adore
She’s enchanting as starlight, and oh, how I long,
To be the lucky one boy to whom she’ll belong.
The dream girl of Pi Kappa Alpha Is the ideal of all that I love, We put our hearts in the game But whose heart will she claim? Will the Pi Kappa Alpha dream girl be mine, be mine, be mine?
