"To set the standard of integrity, intellect, and achievement for our members, host institutions, and the communities in which we live." This is the Pi Kappa Alpha vision. This statement is the goal and guideline we are supposed to strive to achieve and live by.
It has been a very centered focus the last couple of years to start striving to follow our mission statement and what we call the true pike. We have done so by striving to be the best in everything. We are number one in athletics, we are becoming more community service focused, we are challenging ourselves to raise our GPAs, and we are becoming very conscience about how we present ourselves to the public.
But, there are still some problems that need to addressed. Where as the majority of the chapter have these same goals and are working hard to achieve them, we still have some of those who have yet to jump on board, and in some cases, there are guys who want to be flat out counter productive. With a large group of people, you will always have instances such as this. Its just frustrating when you work so hard to achieve a goal, and its made even harder by people who are supposed to be striving to achieve the same goal as you.
These mission statements are very similar amongst all greek chapters. Following them is what has to be done in order to silence the stereotypes that surround our world. Practice what you preach.
