Welcome Pi Kappa Alpha, like college, is an investment. PIKE University, especially

this Leadership Summit, can open your eyes to the amazing opportunities

available through membership in the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity.

This experience is designed for every member of Pi Kappa Alpha alike – whether

you are a loyal alumnus volunteer, seasoned chapter officer or you just received

your bid last week. Joining your chapter was the first step in what we hope will

be a lifelong and rewarding Pi Kappa Alpha experience. Much will be expected

from you upon your return to your campus.

Over the course of the leadership summit, you will learn about our

Fraternity’s history, how to create and maintain an excellent chapter culture,

experience personal development enrichment, and how you can refine your

leadership skills and talents. Our goal is to help you achieve your personal best.

+ My first international experience with Pi Kappa Alpha was attending our International Conference in Atlanta, Georgia in 2000. It was the first time I had traveled so far without family, and I can honestly say that it was a life changing experience. From a variety of educational workshops to helping delegates from across the US and Canada form policy, I learned many

valuable lessons about working with others from wildly different backgrounds. Putting myself outside of my comfort zone geographically also gave me the confidence to seek out other opportunities within Pikes, from Edmonton to Cincinnati to Chicago, which in turn gave me the confidence to pursue international opportunities in my professional and personal life, having travelled in over 50 countries and worked in places ranging from Kenya to Korea. I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that none of these things would have happened if I didn’t take that “first step” on to the plane to Atlanta with my brothers from Pi Kappa Alpha. -‐ Kirk McCullough, Teacher with the Toronto District School Board, Wilfrid Laurier Class 2001, Kappa Mu 1998

What is Pike University and how it contributed to my professional life after school?

Active listening, value selling, conflict resolution, budget management, and motivational leadership...these are all skills I use on a daily basis as a sales

professional. These skills have proven invaluable to my professional success and the time I spent at Pike University armed me with the knowledge, guidance and hands on training to develop these skills. I had the privilege of attending three Pike University conferences (two in Memphis and one in Chicago) and after learning new skills at those conferences, the Laurier Pike Chapter itself provided the perfect facility for practicing and refining these skills before beginning my professional career. As such, I believe every member of Pi Kappa Alpha should attend as many Pike University events as they are able to because there is not a single skill I gained at a Pike University event that is not transferable and a differentiator as a young professional. – Billy Hutzul

Pike U gave me the opportunity to network, well beyond the borders of my campus or LinkedIn profile. Having shared drinks with students and alumni, Pike U exposed me to the world of high finance and American politics. I was offered several employment opportunities upon graduation, one of which was as a Chapter consultant and the other as a hedge fund wholesaler. The

knowledge and experience I've gained as a result of Pike U is unmatched, the friends I've made and the connections I hold are unbreakable. I am PIKE U. -‐ Leif Erickson, former two-‐time treasurer and currently working in corporate finance.

From the President Saif Dadabhoy

My experiences with Pike University conferences started after I attended my first one in Baltimore during the summer of 2014. Since then, I have attended 6 other conferences in many different cities across the United States.

Pike University is really one of the premier leadership development programs available for undergraduates for a variety of unique reasons. It allows you to expand your network and connect with undergraduate students from different Universities across the United States and Canada. Workshops such as Financial Planning, Budgeting, Fitness & Wellness and Public Speaking give you the opportunity to pick up skills necessary to develop yourself personally. Parallel to this, workshops such as Public speaking, Branding Yourself, and Finding Your Dream Job

all cultivate your skills so that you may excel and hit the ground running when you hit the professional world.

Pike University has had a lasting impact on my undergraduate career, far more than many other opportunities at University. Through meeting many different undergraduates across North America I have expanded my network across all regions of the United States that have begun to benefit me already, and will continue to do so as I grow into the professional world. After sitting through many workshops, my public speaking, confidence and ability to manage my personal finances has exponentially improved. I would highly recommend that you consider sending your child to Pike University conferences and conventions. Whether they be regional summits in Chicago or Philadelphia, or larger conventions in the Memphis – The ability to grow a network paired with personal and professional development, will really pay not only short term, but also long-‐term dividends for your child.

We look forward to your attendance at the Chicago Leadership Summit February 5-‐7th 2016
